Hello spring! Easter is right around the corner and this delicious asparagus and feta crustless quiche is the perfect dish to serve your family. Not only is this quiche low in carbs, high in protein and gluten-free, but I just love how versatile this dish is as there are so many fun things you can add into this quiche. This recipe is very similar to my veggie frittata, just with less ingredients and less prep time. Both are equally delicious!

Why You’ll Love this Recipe

  • This recipe is healthy, low-carb and gluten-free. It also tastes absolutely delicious!
  • Easily customizable to your liking!
  • There’s no crust in this quiche so it comes together really quickly with minimal prep time.
  • The perfect dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
This healthy Asparagus and Feta Crustless Quiche is easily made with just a few simple ingredients, tastes delicious and makes the perfect low-carb dish you can enjoy for any meal!

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • eggs – I used 6 whole eggs in this recipe, but feel free to use a combination of egg whites and whole eggs, if you prefer.
  • asparagus – this nutrient-rich asparagus is the star of this dish adds great taste and texture. Make sure to look for thin asparagus spears as they are more tender and better suited in this quiche.
  • milk + half and half – feel free to use any type of milk you prefer. I also like to add a splash of half and half as it adds some richness and flavor to the quiche without the need for heavy cream. If you don’t want to use half and half, simply use more milk.
  • feta cheese – I love using feta cheese as it adds a tanginess and creaminess to the quiche that tastes amazing with the asparagus! Gruyere cheese, goat cheese or even parmesan cheese would also work well in this recipe.
  • green onions – punches up the flavor and adds more color.
  • chives – adds even more flavor and makes a great garnish.
  • seasonings – I used a mixture of oregano, salt and black pepper. You could also add in some crushed red pepper flakes for a little spice!

How to Make Asparagus Crustless Quiche

  1. Trim the asparagus. Snap off the ends of the asparagus spears and cut into 1-inch pieces and chop your green onions. No need to cook the asparagus beforehand as long as you use thin asparagus spears!
  2. Prep the egg mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half and half, oregano, salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the quiche. Arrange the asparagus spears and green onions in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate sprayed with nonstick spray. Pour the egg mixture over top of the asparagus and top with feta cheese and chives.
  4. Bake the quiche. Bake the quiche in the oven at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes, or until the egg is set in the center and the edges are golden. A knife or toothpick inserted should come out clean. Serve warm and enjoy!

Since this is a crustless quiche, make sure your pie pan is coated nicely with nonstick spray or oil so that your quiche doesn’t stick to the pan when ready to serve!

This healthy Asparagus and Feta Crustless Quiche is easily made with just a few simple ingredients, tastes delicious and makes the perfect low-carb dish you can enjoy for any meal!

Variations

  • Add more veggies – feel free to mix things up and add whatever veggies you’d like! Some great options include sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, broccoli, shredded zucchini and more. Similar to my veggie frittata recipe.
  • Leafy greens – this quiche is a great recipe to sneak in some extra greens! Spinach, kale and arugula are all great options or even some fresh herbs.
  • Add in a protein – you could also add in some meat such as cooked breakfast sausage, ham or even bacon in this quiche, similar to my sausage and veggie egg casserole.
  • Make into muffins – this recipe also makes delicious egg muffins! Simply pour the egg mixture into muffin cups and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Check out my cheesy egg muffins for more details!
  • Make this dairy-free – to make this quiche dairy-free, simply use vegan cheese (or leave the cheese out altogether) and make sure to use your favorite non-dairy milk.

Prepping and Storage

To Store: This crustless asparagus quiche recipe will last up to 3 days store in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350 or in the microwave for a few seconds.

To Freeze: This crustless quiche freezes really well too. To freeze, wrap the quiche tightly in plastic wrap and freeze in a sealed, airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw out in the refrigerator overnight before re-heating.

The Easter bunny is on his way soon and these carrot cake cupcakes make the perfect festive treat!  The cutest little desserts that are not only delicious, but make such a great addition to your holiday table.  These carrot cake cupcakes are made healthier with whole wheat pastry flour, shredded carrots, coconut oil in place of butter and naturally sweetened with maple syrup and applesauce.  The cupcakes are topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting and toasted coconut making adorable “bird’s nests” with egg-shaped chocolate candies.

For these bird’s nest cupcakes, I wanted to go with a carrot cake to stay with the fun Easter theme, but you could of course make any type of cupcakes or frosting you’d like!  However I highly recommend making these deliciously moist carrot cake cupcakes as I KNOW you won’t be disappointed!  My 2 year old kept calling them “baby bird treats” and absolutely loved them.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • whole wheat pastry flour – I love baking with whole wheat pastry flour as it has all the nutritional benefits of whole grain flour while giving these cupcakes a light and fluffy texture.  I highly recommend using this, but if you don’t have any on hand you could use white whole wheat flour or regular all-purpose flour.
  • baking soda + baking powder – these act as leavening agents to help the cupcakes rise.
  • carrots – you’ll need to grate about 2 medium carrots to get a heaping cup for this recipe, the grated carrot also helps keep these cupcakes moist.
  • applesauce – just a little bit of unsweetened applesauce in these cupcakes helps to reduce the amount of oil we need to use and also adds a little extra sweetness.  You could also use a mashed banana as well.
  • coconut oil – this takes the place of butter in these cupcakes and helps make them moist and fluffy!
  • eggs – gives these muffins their structure and height.
  • sweeteners – I used a combination of coconut sugar along with some maple syrup to naturally sweeten these cupcakes without using refined sugar.
  • spices – a delicious combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.
  • vanilla – pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor in these cupcakes and tastes so good with the warm spices.
  • shredded coconut – this is what we’ll use to create the little “nests” on top of the cupcakes and make sure to use unsweetened shredded coconut that has longer strands, not coconut flakes that look more like chips.
  • cream cheese – this is needed to make the frosting!  You’ll want this at room temperature so that it is easier to whip.
  • chocolate eggs – cute little chocolate eggs are used to finish off the cupcakes!

How to Make Carrot Cake Cupcakes

This recipe makes 12 cupcakes OR you could make 24 mini carrot cake muffins!  You will make the batter the exact same way, you’ll just need adjust the cooking time for the smaller muffins.  Here’s how to make them!

  1. Mix dry ingredients.  In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, baking powder, coconut sugar, salt and spices, then set aside.
  2. Mix wet ingredients.  In a separate bowl, whisk together grated carrot, eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla until all combined.  Then mix in the coconut oil, just make sure you melt the coconut oil first and let it cool before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
  3. Make the batter.  Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to over-mix the batter.  Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffins cups lined with cupcake liners (or you could spray them with non-stick spray), making sure to fill each cup about 2/3rds full.  You could also make 24 mini muffins!
  4. BAKE!  Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean then let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.  If baking mini-size muffins, bake at 350 for about 10 to 13 minutes.  Next I’ll show you how to make the cream cheese frosting and assemble your bird’s nests!

How to Make the Bird’s Nests

While the cupcakes cool, you can toast the coconut and make the cream cheese frosting!

  1. Toast the coconut.  Toasting coconut adds such a robust, nutty flavor to otherwise plain coconut and gives these cupcakes great texture!  Start by adding the shredded coconut to a large dry skillet (no need for oil!) and cook over medium heat, making sure the coconut is in an even layer in the pan.  Continuously stir the coconut in the skillet until golden brown and fragrant, being careful not to let the the coconut burn.
  2. Make the frosting.  In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment (or you could use a hand mixer), combine softened cream cheese, maple syrup and vanilla and whip on high until smooth.
  3. Assemble the bird’s nests!  Once your cupcakes are completely cool, frost each cupcake using a knife or spatula (no need to use a pastry bag to make them look pretty since we’re going to be coating them in coconut!) then sprinkle toasted coconut over each cupcake, pressing down slightly so that the coconut sticks to the frosting.  Then place a little bit of frosting onto the bottom of each egg-shaped candy and press into the center of each cupcake.  You’ll need 3 candies per cupcake.

How to Store Bird’s Nest Cupcakes

The great thing about these cupcakes is that they taste even better the next day!  Just make sure to store them a sealed, airtight container and they will last for about a day on the counter then transfer them to your fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.  If you’re making these for an Easter or Mother’s Day event, you can absolutely make them ahead of time!

BAKE!  Bake the cupcakes at 350 degrees for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean then let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.  If baking mini-size muffins, bake at 350 for about 10 to 13 minutes.  Next I’ll show you how to make the cream cheese frosting and assemble your bird’s nests!

How to Make the Bird’s Nests

While the cupcakes cool, you can toast the coconut and make the cream cheese frosting!

  1. Toast the coconut.  Toasting coconut adds such a robust, nutty flavor to otherwise plain coconut and gives these cupcakes great texture!  Start by adding the shredded coconut to a large dry skillet (no need for oil!) and cook over medium heat, making sure the coconut is in an even layer in the pan.  Continuously stir the coconut in the skillet until golden brown and fragrant, being careful not to let the the coconut burn.
  2. Make the frosting.  In the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment (or you could use a hand mixer), combine softened cream cheese, maple syrup and vanilla and whip on high until smooth.
  3. Assemble the bird’s nests!  Once your cupcakes are completely cool, frost each cupcake using a knife or spatula (no need to use a pastry bag to make them look pretty since we’re going to be coating them in coconut!) then sprinkle toasted coconut over each cupcake, pressing down slightly so that the coconut sticks to the frosting.  Then place a little bit of frosting onto the bottom of each egg-shaped candy and press into the center of each cupcake.  You’ll need 3 candies per cupcake.

How to Store Bird’s Nest Cupcakes

The great thing about these cupcakes is that they taste even better the next day!  Just make sure to store them a sealed, airtight container and they will last for about a day on the counter then transfer them to your fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.  If you’re making these for an Easter or Mother’s Day event, you can absolutely make them ahead of time!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup grated carrot (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted and cooled

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz block of cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, baking powder, coconut sugar, salt and spices; set aside.  In a smaller bowl, whisk together grated carrot, eggs, maple syrup, applesauce and vanilla until all combined.  Then mix in the coconut oil, making sure it’s melted and cooled before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to over-mix the batter.  Divide the batter evenly between 12 muffins cups lined with cupcake liners (or you could spray them with non-stick spray), making sure to fill each cup about 2/3rds full.
  • Pop the cupcakes in the oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Toast the coconut.  While the cupcakes are baking, add the shredded coconut to a large dry skillet (no need for oil!) and cook over medium heat, making sure the coconut is in an even layer in the pan.  Continuously stir the coconut in the skillet until golden brown and fragrant, being careful not to let the the coconut burn.

Easy and flavorful classic deviled eggs made healthier with protein-packed Greek yogurt that are easily thrown together with just a few simple ingredients!  Greek yogurt makes such a great substitute for mayo in these deviled eggs as they both have a similiar creamy texture, yet Greek yogurt is only a fraction of the calories found in mayo!  When mixed together with other ingredients like egg yolks, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and pickle relish, the filling is so delicious you’d never know you swapped out mayo for yogurt!

Why You’ll Love These

  • We’re swapping mayo for some protein-packed Greek yogurt!
  • These deviled eggs are gluten-free, low-carb/keto and make a delicious, high-protein snack that tastes delicious.
  • These eggs are a staple at parties, cookouts and especially Easter because they are always a crowd favorite.
  • Garnish these with smoked paprika and some fresh chives and you’ve got a gorgeous presentation to boot!
These Healthier Deviled Eggs are a classic recipe that are much lighter in calories thanks to using Greek yogurt!  Perfect for parties, Sunday brunch or even a delicious afternoon snack! 

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • eggs – you’ll need 6 large eggs and you can either hard boil them right in the Instant Pot (my favorite method!) or hard boil them on the stove top (see below for those instructions)
  • greek yogurt – I used full-fat plain Greek yogurt in place of mayo, but feel free to use regular mayonnaise or even sour cream if you prefer however this will change the calorie amount
  • dijon mustard – adds some tangyness and that classic deviled egg flavor, but you could also use stone ground mustard, yellow mustard or even a 1/2 tsp of dried mustard
  • worcestershire sauce – I love the boost of flavor this gives, you could also use hot sauce for some heat!
  • relish – my Grandma ALWAYS added relish to her deviled eggs so this was a must in mine and adds a nice zip of flavor!  You could also use chopped pickles in place of the relish
  • spices – combination of salt, pepper and smoked paprika for garnish
  • chives – this is an optional garnish, but makes an attractive presentation!  You could also garnish with green onions, parsley, fresh dill or even some bacon.

How to Easily Hard Boil Eggs

I love how quick and easy deviled eggs are to make, it just depends what method you choose to hard boil them!  I have a super simple method of hard boiling eggs right in the Instant Pot that you can check out here which makes them super easy to peel.  I personally find the Instant Pot to be the easiest method, but here’s instructions on how to hard boil eggs right on your stove top!

  1. Boil the eggs.  In a large saucepan, place the eggs and cover them with an inch of cold water (about 2 cups).  Bring the water to a boil and continue to boil for about 30 seconds.  Then shut the heat off, cover the eggs and let them sit (covered) for about 12 minutes.
  2. Make an ice bath.  While the eggs are sitting, create an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and ice.  Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process and let them cool completely, about 10 minutes.  This step is important so don’t skip!
  3. Peel the eggs.  Gently tap the eggs all over to crack and remove the shells.  You now have hard boiled eggs for your recipe!

Don’t hard boil fresh eggs as they tend to be harder to peel.  Instead use older eggs that are about a week old.

How to Make Healthy Deviled Eggs

Once you have peeled your hard boiled eggs, it’s time to make the filling!  Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a small bowl.  Next add Greek yogurt, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, relish, salt and pepper and mix really well until all combined.  Taste the filling and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Then you can either just spoon the filling into the center of each egg white, or you can transfer the deviled egg filling to a piping bag with a fitted tip (or use a small plastic bag with the corner snipped) and pipe the filling onto the center of each egg white half.  Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and some fresh chives!

These Healthier Deviled Eggs are a classic recipe that are much lighter in calories thanks to using Greek yogurt!  Perfect for parties, Sunday brunch or even a delicious afternoon snack! 

Prepping and Storing

The great thing about this healthy deviled egg recipe is you can easily make them in advance which is great for parties or if you’re planning to serve them as an appetizer for Easter! 

To Make Ahead – If making ahead, mix together the egg yolk mixture and store that separately from the egg white halves, keeping each in sealed, airtight containers in the fridge.  You can do this up to 2 to 3 days ahead of time.  When ready to serve, simply spoon or pipe the yolk filling onto the eggs and garnish as desired. 

To Store – Leftover deviled eggs will last about 3 to 4 days in a sealed, airtight container in the fridge.
