Ingredients for this Low Sodium Quiche Recipe
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!
- Low Sodium Pie Crusts – see below for some tips on buying pre-made! I use store-bought pie crust which is great if you can find a low sodium variety. Premade pie crust saves time and tastes great if you don’t want to go through the hassle of making homemade dough.
- Eggs – Eggs naturally contain about 60-70mg of sodium per large egg. We try to get cage free / free range eggs when we can. There isn’t any nutritional difference, but I always try to support animal welfare when I can!
- Milk: you can use any milk of your choice, but I recommend whole milk for fluffy eggs.
- Black Pepper
- Vegetables – I used sliced tomato and fresh spinach in mine. You want about 1 cup of vegetables of your choice. Some great options are bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, caramelized onions, or butternut squash.
- Herbs – I use fresh basil
- Thyme
How To Choose a Pie Crust
Making pie from scratch can seem daunting – luckily it’s very simple when you find a good pre-made pie crust! I’ve found some really great ones lately that have 35-80mg of sodium per serving.
One tip: check the frozen section! I’ve found that the frozen pie crusts in my stores are lower in sodium than the ones in the baking aisle.
Trader Joes has a great gluten free low sodium pie crust. I’ve also used these pie crusts from Whole Foods which have 35mg sodium per serving, and are great for sweet pies and also savory quiches.
If you want to make your own, I like to use this almond flour pie crust recipe, just omit the salt.
How To Make Quiche Without Salt
- Prepare pie crust according to package directions, place in a 9 inch pie dish, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, scramble together the eggs, milk, thyme, and pepper. Add the chopped vegetables and stir again.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust. Top with fresh herbs (like basil).
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake the quiche for 40-50minutes, or until the top of the quiche and the edges of the crust are golden brown, and the center is cooked through.
- Allow quiche to cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Top with fresh herbs, and enjoy.

An easy yet delightful dish
Easy to make, and very tasty – lessons I learned in the process though…if you’re buying premade crusts, get the deep dish one as my regular (shallower) one overflowed. Also, use a solid dish for the crust, my foil one buckled under the weight of the quiche. So, I made a bit of a mess, but I’ll definitely be making this again!
Hello,
I have been using 2 Phyllo sheets in place of the pie crust in another quiche recipe, because my wife is not a fan of pie crust
Phyllo sheets sodium 137mg/1 oz
Hi Steve, that is a great alternative to pie dough, thanks so much for sharing!
