So creamy and delicious, you would never guess that this Sausage and Zucchini Quiche is dairy free and gluten free- packed with veggies though!
Confession #94 – I have an addiction to cheese.
I’m sure this comes as no surprise…so many of my recipes include it…and I am always trying to figure out how to make that blue container last me all day.
My son is dairy free, however, so I am also always looking for ways to re-make our favorite meals without dairy.
And one of my favorite discoveries is full fat coconut milk. Yes, it’s still a blue, but a little goes a looooong way! It makes everything so creamy and delicious – like this quiche. There is no cheese or dairy at all in this recipe, but you would swear there was. It’s also crustless, so low carb and gluten free!
And it’s only 1/4 of your blue container per serving, which is amazing…because there are lots of hours after breakfast and that blue container is my lifeline.
We also use coconut milk for baking, making vegan ice cream, and whipped topping! It’s great stuff! Pick up a couple of cans on your next shopping trip and have some fun!
You can make these in 2 regular pie pans (eat one/freeze one), or one 9×13. This recipe also would make great mini quiches using a couple cupcake tin (aim for 16 minis) Figure out what works for you! And if you want to make this a full GREEN, just add 2 cups of spinach to your veggie mixture! YUM!
Can I freeze Sausage and Zucchini Quiche?
Yes! I would portion out any extras, separate them using parchment or wax paper, and lay flat in a ziplock bag or airtight container! It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Then thaw it in the fridge and heat until warm using the microwave or oven!

Julieanne says
im confused. it says 8 eggs….8 servings. so would it just be a half a red container since each serving is just one egg? or am i wrong??
Nancylynn says
The sausage also accounts for half of the red 🙂

Love this recipe! I use it as one of my breakfast meal prep breakfast items! but I don’t always need the 2nd one. How do you suggest freezing them?
Nancylynn says
Oh this is perfect for meal prep! I would portion your extras and separate them using parchment or wax paper. Then lay them flat in a ziplock bag or airtight container. I just added this info to the post – thanks for asking!
Kim says
Thank you so much for this article and recipes! I have been so curious about the meals in this program. In your experience, are there many egg-free options? I have been recently diagnosed with an egg & dairy allergy but am still having gut issues so know that while I may not be allergic to other foods, they are still causing trouble.
Nancylynn says
Which program? 4 week gut protocol?
Tracy C says
I make this one all the time for meal prep. It reheats just as good as the first time. I have also added extra veggies when I need a full green. So tasty!
Miranda says
If I don’t have coconut milk, could I substitute 2% milk or almond milk? Would it be the same amount?
Nancylynn says
Yes – that’s fine!
Rachel says
Substitute suggestions for gluten free, nut free
