A rich, comforting, and low-carb crustless quiche featuring smoky bacon and nutty Gruyère cheese, perfect for keto and low-carb lifestyles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 6 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs such as thyme or chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into bite-sized pieces. Reserve a tablespoon of bacon fat.
  3. Sauté shallots and garlic in the reserved bacon fat over low heat for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, being careful not to brown them.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir in the shredded Gruyère, grated Parmesan, sautéed shallots and garlic, chopped bacon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until combined.
  6. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan lightly with butter or oil. Pour the quiche mixture into the dish and gently shake to level the filling.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the quiche is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Test doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean. If not, bake a few more minutes.
  9. Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up.
  10. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or thyme, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Whisk eggs and cream gently but thoroughly to create a silky custard texture. Avoid overcooking; quiche should be slightly jiggly when removed from oven. Freshly shred cheese for best melting and flavor. Bacon fat adds flavor when sautéing aromatics. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
