Mini Quiche Ingredients
EGGS: Always use large, fresh eggs: keep out two of the 8 egg yolks for a more protein-based quiche with a little less cholesterol.
MEAT: Bacon bits have a robust, smoky flavor, but any meat will do! Diced ham, ground Italian sausage, or even bay shrimp or lump crabmeat will elevate quiche (especially as appetizers)!
VEGGIES: Spinach and bell peppers are nutritious and colorful, but you can also try chopped mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, shredded zucchini, sliced black olives, and nearly any low-carb veggie you can think of!
CHEESE: Cheddar cheese, mozzarella, blue cheese crumbles or feta will all work in this recipe.
How To Make Crustless Mini Quiches
- Fry bacon pieces in a skillet. Remove the bacon, reserving the bacon grease. Saute diced bell pepper in bacon grease until softened (as per the recipe below).
- Whisk eggs, cheddar cheese, and seasonings in a bowl. Add cooked peppers, drained spinach, and bacon pieces.
- Pour quiche mixture into prepared muffin tins and top with parmesan cheese. Bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
What To Serve with Quiche
These tasty little quiches can go with anything! As a breakfast dish, serve with some turkey sausage, or as an appetizer, plate them with low-carb stuffed cherry tomatoes.
Recipe Tips!
