Pepperoni and Sausage Deep Dish Pizza Quiche
This Low Carb Deep Dish Pizza Quiche is a favorite for busy weeknights and relaxed pizza nights alike. The base is a crustless, custardy quiche made with eggs, softened cream cheese and just the right amount of Parmesan for depth. Mozzarella forms a melty layer that acts like the “crust” and the topping stage mirrors a classic deep-dish pizza: a layer of pizza sauce, more mozzarella, cooked Italian sausage and lots of pepperoni. It comes together quickly and bakes to a golden, bubbly finish.
How to Make Deep Dish Pizza Quiche
Making this crustless pizza quiche is straightforward. First, sprinkle shredded mozzarella across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create a melty base. In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, softened cream cheese, milk (or a low-carb milk alternative), grated Parmesan, garlic powder and Italian seasoning until smooth. Pour the egg mixture over the mozzarella and bake until set. Remove from the oven and spread pizza sauce over the set quiche, then top with the remaining mozzarella, cooked Italian sausage and pepperoni. Return it to the oven briefly so the topping melts and becomes bubbly. Allow the quiche to rest for a few minutes before slicing so it sets and is easier to serve.
This recipe is flexible. Use any pizza toppings you enjoy: mushrooms, olives, green peppers, or extra cheese. If you follow a low-carb or keto approach, choose a no-sugar pizza sauce or omit added sugar in a homemade sauce. For extra herb flavor, add fresh basil or a sprinkle of oregano before serving.
What to Serve with Pizza Quiche
This deep-dish pizza quiche stands well on its own, but a few simple sides make a complete meal. A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette complements the richness of the quiche. Garlic breadsticks or parmesan bread twists are great if you want extra comfort-food vibes. For lighter pairings, serve with sliced cucumbers and cherry tomatoes tossed in a light Italian dressing. These sides balance the richness and make the meal feel like a classic pizza night.
Suggested Sides
- Green Jacket–style salad
- Creamy Italian or vinaigrette dressing
