Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the quiche cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them until well beaten. This will help to incorporate air into the eggs, making your quiche fluffy.
- Add 1 cup of milk to the beaten eggs and whisk together until fully combined. The milk adds creaminess to the quiche.
- Stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to season the egg mixture. Adjust the seasoning to your taste if desired.
- In a separate bowl, combine the 1 cup of chopped cooked bacon, 1/2 cup of diced onion, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Mix these ingredients together so that they are evenly distributed.
- Gently fold the bacon, onion, and cheese mixture into the egg and milk mixture. Make sure everything is well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg and filling mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help it set further and make it easier to cut.
- Slice the quiche into 6 servings and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious crustless bacon and egg quiche!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother, more evenly mixed custard base.
- For extra flavor, consider using thick-cut bacon and crisp it slightly before chopping.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, gruyère, or a blend for unique flavor profiles.
- Don't overmix the egg mixture – gentle folding helps maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- Let the quiche rest after baking to help it set and make cutting easier.
- For a lower-fat version, use turkey bacon or reduce the cheese quantity.
- Customize with additional vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added nutrition.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the quiche's texture.
