Bacon and Cheese Crustless Quiche

Ingredients You’ll Need

Serves 6–8

For the Quiche:

• • 6 large eggs

• 1 cup heavy cream (or whole milk for a lighter version)
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
• 6 slices bacon , cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Swiss, Gruyère, or a blend)
• ½ cup diced onions (optional)
• ½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)

Optional Garnish:

• Fresh parsley , chopped
• Hot sauce or sour cream , for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking pan with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the Quiche

1. Spread the crumbled bacon evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
2. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the bacon. If using diced onions or bell peppers, scatter them over the cheese.
3. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the toppings, ensuring everything is submerged.

Step 5: Bake

1. Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes , or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top. To check doneness, insert a knife into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

1. Let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with hot sauce or sour cream on the side.
