This Crustless Bacon Cheese Quiche is the ultimate answer to a busy cook’s dream—easy, savory, and packed with flavor in every bite. With crispy bacon, gooey cheddar, and fluffy eggs, this no-crust quiche is both low-carb and crowd-pleasing. It’s perfect for a weekend brunch, holiday spread, or even a cozy breakfast-for-dinner night.
No crust means less prep and fewer carbs, and everything comes together in one bowl. Pour, bake, and you’re done. Plus, it reheats beautifully, so leftovers are never a problem.
Fun fact: The crustless quiche is a modern spin on the French classic “quiche Lorraine,” which originally featured a pastry shell. By removing the crust, you get the same creamy texture and savory filling—just lighter and simpler. Whether you’re gluten-free or just looking for a fuss-free meal, this crustless version brings all the comfort with none of the hassle.
Recipe Yield: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
6 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
6 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional garnish)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Cook the bacon:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble into bite-sized pieces.
3. Make the egg mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
4. Add bacon and cheese:
Stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly mixed.
5. Pour and bake:
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
6. Garnish and serve:
Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley, if using. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Use Full-Fat Milk: Whole milk adds a rich, creamy texture to the quiche—don’t substitute with skim.
- Let It Cool Before Slicing: A brief rest allows the quiche to firm up, making clean slices easier.
- Add Flavor with Mix-Ins: Try sautéed spinach, diced onions, or bell peppers for extra depth.
