Crustless (Keto-Friendly) Quiche or Mini Quiche Recipe

This is an easy crustless (keto-friendly) quiche recipe or mini-quiche recipe that tastes great.  The best part is, it doesn’t require a crust so it’s great for those following a keto-type diet or those avoiding processed foods.

Another fantastic thing about this quiche recipe is that you can easily substitute an alternative meat, cheese, or vegetable and still get great results.  

Although the original recipe calls for bacon as the meat, swiss for the grated cheese, and spinach for the vegetable; over the years I’ve used many different meats, cheeses, and vegetables with good success. 

Just as starting suggestions, for the meat you can substitute crumbled, cooked sausage or finely chopped ham; for the cheese, you can substitute jarlsburg, gruyere or cheddar; and for the vegetable, you can try cooked broccoli, chard, or just about any chopped vegetable (or combination of chopped vegetable) that makes you happy. 

Just remember to keep the proportions of ingredients about the same – if you do that then the recipe seems to be fairly flexible.

For example, I’ve used jarlsburg, bacon, and broccoli to produce a tasty crustless quiche. I tend to make this quiche recipe when we have a bit of meat and cheese left-over and just pick the vegetable fresh from the garden (and chop/cook it before substituting it in the recipe). 

This recipe can also be made in mini-muffin tins or regular muffin tins. If you make it in mini-muffin tins it makes about 40 individual servings or 12 servings in regular muffin tins.
