Ingredients
Crustless Quiche Filling Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for even baking of the quiche.
- Prepare the vegetables and bacon: If not already cooked, sauté the diced onion, bell peppers, and spinach until softened. Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop into small pieces.
- Mix the egg base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Add fillings: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon, and sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
- Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the mixture: Pour the combined egg and filling mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the quiche: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The top should be slightly golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

- You can customize the fillings according to your preferences, such as adding mushrooms, tomatoes, or different cheeses.
