    The Most Amazing Keto Quiche with No Crust

    This easy crustless keto quiche is filled to the brim with bacon and cheese. You could add spinach or broccoli, but I prefer my quiche to be like a traditional crustless quiche Lorraine. And no, a crustless quiche is not a frittata!

    Crustless Quiche

    This No Crust Keto Quiche is my favorite way to make quiche.  My family actually prefers Quiche Lorraine without the crust...just make sure you spray the pie plate really good so it doesn't stick.  The Monterey jack in this crustless quiche gives so much flavor and the bacon, well, you know it makes everything taste better.

    My 9 year old son is my keto quiche lover and I've been feeding it to him for many years.  It's one of the only meals that he will ask for seconds!  We actually call it bacon pie in our house because that sounds more appealing to a 9 year old.  I can make two keto quiches at a time and they will be devoured by all members of the family in no time!

    I've never met a quiche I didn't like, but the most amazing quiche I've ever had was in a cafe in Paris.  It was a classic quiche Lorraine.  It was buttery, cheesy, and absolutely divine.  I had it with the most amazing french onion soup I've ever had!

    That trip I also had the most amazing hot chocolate I've ever had.  In summary, if you want to have "the most amazing food you've ever had," visit Paris.

    no crust quiche in a pie plate

    This easy keto quiche recipe is made with only a few ingredients:

    • Bacon - Of course, the star ingredient of quiche lorraine and any no crust quiche made at my house.  My favorite bacon is Wrights Brand thick cut bacon.  If you are looking for absolutely no sugar in your bacon, then you will need to source another sugar free brand.  I cut my bacon into Lardons (short strips) and then cook them in a skillet until crisp.
    • Eggs - This recipe uses 10 whole large eggs.  You want to make sure an whisk the eggs until they are really smooth so you have the best custard.
    • Cheese - I use shredded Monterey Jack cheese.  Traditionally, quiche uses Swiss but I find that the Monterey Jack is just tastier!  Swiss can be used if you want to stick with tradition.
    • Half and Half - Keto baking is full of heavy whipping cream, but since this recipe has very minimal carbs, I like to use half and half to cut some of the calories.  
    • Salt and Pepper - I provide a measurement of ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper for this recipe.  If you use regular table salt, you may want to add less.

    IS A FRITTATA THE SAME AS A NO CRUST QUICHE?

    In short, no.  A frittata is mostly egg with little to no milk or cream.  It is first started on the stove top, like an omelette, but then finished off in the oven.  A quiche traditionally has a crust.  But you can skip the crust to make it keto.

    Crustless quiche lorraine

    Crustless low carb quiche makes a really easy weeknight dinner served with a salad.  The only thing I find difficult is waiting for it to bake in the oven for 40 minutes!

     CAN THIS KETO QUICHE BE FROZEN?

    Any quiche can be frozen after it has been baked and cooled.  I would bake it in a tin foil pie pan so it can be removed from the freezer, thawed in the refrigerator overnight, and then placed in a 400F oven for 25-30 minutes.

    Ingredients

    • 8 Slices thick bacon, diced and cooked until crispy
    • 10 whole large eggs
    • 2 Cups Monterey Jack cheese, Shredded
    • 1 ½ Cups half and half
    • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350F
    • Beat eggs in a medium bowl.  Add half and half, salt, and pepper to eggs and whisk to combine.  Add the bacon and the cheese and stir.
    • spray a pie plate with cooking spray.  Pour in the egg mixture
    • Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the eggs are set (the quiche will be firm and no longer jiggle)
    • cool slightly before serving. See notes for freezing instructions.

    Jennifer's tips

    • Different Cheeses: You could use Swiss cheese instead of the Monterey jack to make this more traditionally.  
    • Freezing Keto Quiche: Any quiche can be frozen after it has been baked and cooled.  I would bake it in a tin foil pie pan so it can be removed from the freezer, thawed in the refrigerator overnight, and then placed in a 400F oven for 25-30 minutes.

      I made this - looks and smells delicious. I added about a tablespoon of chopped jalapeños for a bit of heat and about 4 dashes of Montreal Steak Seasoning. FYI: Mine was not done in 40 mins.....did 3 intervals of 5 mins to get it done. As we all know different ovens climate etc can make a difference in baking times. Excited to have this next week for breakfasts - Yum!

      This recipe is outstanding! I’ve Been on keto for about six weeks… And I have tried almost every quiche recipe out there for a variety… So far this is without question the back… As another reviewer suggested I use the bacon grease to grease the pie pan… If it perfectly in a 9.5 glass Pyrex pan. I also use switching and added a diet green onion… I could see 1 million variations with this technique… Overall you can’t go wrong and you won’t even miss the crust. Thanks so much for this!!!!

      My search for keto quiche has met success!!! Made this today with baked bacon, pecorino romano and moz cheese with garlic asparagus and onion sautéed in bacon grease (also greased pan with bacon grease). Whipped the eggs in my bullet. Light, fluffy and delicious! I will call it bacon pie in honor of your family tradition. Thanks for sharing 😉

      As this intended to be low carb it calls for heavy cream. You can certainly make this with half and half however that will increase the carb count (and this will no longer be keto friendly).

      Excellent!!! A few substitutions and additions, as per every recipe user ever, but this is still a keeper!

      Used whipping cream instead of half and half and ham instead of bacon. Added some sauteed broccoli on the top, which I would do again, and more next time!

      It took a whole 15 mins longer to cook through than the recipe stated, but I'm willing to bet that's my busted old oven again, or maybe the difference in cream thickness.

      Regardless, an easy filling and delicious recipe, without the hassle or carbs of pastry. Recommend!

        Quiche I’ve made in years past before keto, the bacon was just placed in the pie plate on top of a crust along with sautéed onions. Egg mixture poured on top, it was always delicious, so whether the bacon settles on the bottom or not it’s a delicious recipe

      This is probably a stupid question but when you say 2 cups, do you measure 2 cups or can someone weigh it and use 16oz instead.

        Cups(volume) and ounces (weight) are 2 separate things. Fluid ounces for liquid would be the same. So, yes you would need to measure out 2 cups.

      This turned out amazing! I'm not able to have bread or grains and breakfast has gotten somewhat repetitive. Very easy to substitute items on hand. I used heavy cream in place of half and half, Dill Havarti for gouda, whipped chive cream cheese in liew of sour cream and added sauteed red peppers and onions. I don't even like frittata's and this turned out so flavorful. Thank you so much!
