I've read through a lot of recipes to come up with my version of this quiche. I wanted to make one that is crustless and low carb, and this one is a WINNER! But once I start eating it, I just don't want to stop! I thought I could make it ahead so I could have a quick breakfast on work mornings, but this rarely lasts out the day it was made!

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb bacon
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed
6 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
6 eggs
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
salt
pepper

Directions

1
On a foil lined pan, cook bacon in 350 degree F. oven until crisp.
2
While bacon cooks, chop onion and shred cheese.
3
Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion, and stir to coat.
4
When onion turns glossy, add thawed spinach, and stir to mix. Heat about 5 minutes, then remove from heat to cool.
5
Remove bacon from oven, and place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
6
Stir together eggs, salt, pepper & heavy whipping cream in a medium bowl.
7
Add in cheese, onion/spinach mixture, and bacon. Stir thoroughly to mix.
8
Butter a glass pie plate or quiche dish, pour mix in, and pat evenly with a fork.
9
Bake in 350 degrees F. oven 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

I bet you can't eat just ONE slice!

This is one of those recipes where you just ignore the nutrional stats and enjoy it LOL My DH is not overly fond of quiche but LOVED this one and so did I. I used a sharp cheddar instead of swiss cheese. The leftovers are even better the next day Made for April Photo Event This Little Piggy

Thx for posting this recipe - we really enjoyed it. I did make some changes - but they were inspired by you. I am trying to lose a few lbs, so low carbing AND trying to watch the calorie intake so I reduced the bacon to just 2 thick-cut slices which I diced and pan fried. I then added the onions to that pan, utilizing the bacon grease ( to avoid the butter and olive oil). I also used 3 whole eggs, and substituted the remaining 3 with equivalent egg whites only, and lastly 5 oz of cheese instead of 6. It was a bit watery-looking when I poured it in the casserole, but after 50 minutes in (my rather cool) oven, I pulled it out and it was great. Oh - I also added about 1/3 cup diced red pepper and 1/3 cup diced broccoli as well. I took a chance and left out the heavy cream and subbed 1/2 c cottage cheese - I think it would have tasted richer with the cream, but it still worked. It was really good -thx for posting and giving me the idea to try something.

This is my favorite crustless quiche recipe - and I don't even like spinach! I'm a personal chef and make crustless quiches, frittatas and the like at least three or four times per week. This is the absolute best! I make it will all low fat ingredients and turkey bacon and it's still good. Definately a 5.
