🧾 Bacon and Cheese Crustless Quiche Recipe

Ingredients (Serves 6)

6 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese blend)
½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 4–6 slices)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Mix the Egg Base

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.
Season with salt and pepper (suggested: ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper).

Step 3: Add Bacon and Cheese

Stir the crumbled bacon and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
(Optional: Reserve a bit of bacon or cheese to sprinkle on top.)

Step 4: Fill the Dish

Pour the egg mixture into the greased pie dish.
Sprinkle any reserved toppings across the surface.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is fully set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
If the edges brown too fast, tent loosely with foil during the last 5–10 minutes.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm as-is or with a light salad or fruit on the side.

💡 Tips for the Best Quiche

Customize It: Add chopped spinach, sautéed mushrooms, or diced bell peppers.
Cheese Swaps: Try Swiss, Gruyère, Monterey Jack, or feta for different flavor profiles.
Crispy Top Tip: Sprinkle extra cheese or bacon on top for a golden, slightly crisp finish.
Make It Ahead: Cook and refrigerate, then reheat for quick meals all week.

❄️ Storage & Reheating

Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat: Microwave in 30-second intervals or warm in the oven at 300°F until heated through.
Freezing (Optional): Wrap slices in foil and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
