A lightened-up recipe on a brunch classic, this Bacon Chive Crustless Quiche is simple, easy and delicious. Adding bacon makes everything incredible.
This recipe is great for breakfast or brunch, but is also an easy dinner solution. Our family loves quiche for dinner thanks to our neighbor Jill, who makes it often, and my daughter Jersey just loves it.
What I love about this recipe for Bacon Chive Crustless Quiche is that it’s completely versatile. You can add or subtract ingredients depending on what your family and guests can tolerate.
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
For example, in this recipe, you can add Gruyere cheese or leave the cheese out completely and use another filler. Typically, what I will do in my family is make two quiches, one fully loaded with cheese, bacon, and chives, and another on the lighter side. That way all can enjoy what they prefer.
This recipe uses Protein Milk which the one above had about 10 grams of protein per serving, which is more than most alternative kinds of milk-for example, almond milk only has 1 gram of protein; you could really use any protein milk for this recipe or just whole milk.
And what’s fantastic with this recipe is that you won’t even notice the difference.
crustless quiche
A crustless quiche is a simplified version of traditional quiche but skipping the pastry crust while still keeping the rich, savory egg filling made with milk or cream, cheese, and a mix of meats or vegetables.
Quiche itself is a savory, custard-like dish that’s incredibly versatile and can be served hot or cold. Crustless quiche is especially popular because it’s easier to make, a little lighter, and naturally low-carb, without sacrificing flavor.
It’s perfect for brunch, make-ahead meals, or feeding a crowd with minimal effort.
How to Make Crustless Quiche
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
Cook bacon until crispy and drain on paper towels.
Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, and butter until thoroughly combined. Pour the egg mixture into the pie plate, then fold in cheese, chives, and cooked bacon. Grind fresh pepper on top of the quiche.
Bake until eggs are set, about 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes, cut into wedges, and serve.
