Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine image

My favorite comfort food on a low-carb diet is this quick and easy crustless quiche. I make them with and without spinach, and sometimes double the amount of bacon, as the mood strikes me. This is a crustless, low-carb version of quiche Lorraine that I developed when my family switched over to a LCHF diet. Not intended for low-fat diets!

Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

nonstick cooking spray
1 (6 ounce) bag fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 (14 ounce) package cooked bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons dried chives
6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
8 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
4 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Spray a skillet with nonstick spray. Saute spinach over medium-low heat just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Divide bacon among the muffin cups. Squeeze moisture out of the spinach and place on top of bacon. Sprinkle with chives, then top with equal portions of Swiss cheese.
  • Blend eggs, cream, seasoning blend, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour mixture slowly into each cup, stopping just before it reaches the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving; it's normal for puffy quiche to settle and flatten.
