Bacon & Cheese Crustless Quiche

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until well combined.
  3. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Fold in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and crumbled bacon, stirring until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish, spreading the filling evenly.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is firm and a knife inserted comes out clean.
  7. Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Variations :

  • Vegetarian: Omit the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or diced bell peppers.
  • Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
  • Cheese Swap: Use gruyère, Swiss, or pepper jack instead of cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Herby Boost: Stir in chopped chives, thyme, or basil for added aroma and color.

Tips :

  • For best results, use freshly shredded cheese for a smoother melt and richer taste.
  • Let the quiche rest for at least 5–10 minutes after baking to help it firm up and slice cleanly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • This quiche freezes well. Cool completely, wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
