Bacon and Cheese Quiche (Crustless)

baconcheesequichecrustless2 Mini crustless quiches are the best make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings. They're made without cream and have no crust or pastry, making them an easy and naturally low carb option perfect for the whole family.

8 slices bacon, cooked
8 large eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
¼ cup cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
¼ tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped

Optional Add-ins:
½ cup vegetables, cooked and chopped, such as spinach, red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5). Generously butter 12 muffin wells.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon from pan, blot with paper towel to remove excess grease. Chop into small pieces.

Place the eggs in a large measuring cup and whisk well to combine. Add the milk, grated cheese, Dijon mustard, pepper and salt; whisk until incorporated.

Divide the cooked bacon pieces and vegetables (if using) evenly between each of the prepared muffin cups.
Pour the egg mixture into each muffin cup as evenly as possible, about 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle each cup evenly with chopped chives.

Bake the crustless mini quiches for 16-19 minutes, or until set (it's ok if they have a slight wobble). Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin or molds. Enjoy or store for later.

Makes 12 servings.

Cook's Notes:

I recommend whisking together the egg mixture in a bowl or , since it will make it easier to pour it into each individual muffin cup, making less of a mess.
I love using for mini quiche cups since it makes them much easier to remove from the pan. If you don’t use silicone muffin cups, you may need to run a knife around the edges of muffin cups to help remove them from the pan.
Be sure to fill the cups evenly with the egg mixture. If some of the cups are too full, the quiche mixture might overflow out of the muffin pan.
