Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Greasing
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the dish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Add Bacon and Cheese: Stir in the chopped cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese evenly into the egg mixture.
- Pour into Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top has turned a nice golden color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
Notes
- You can customize this quiche by adding vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
- Using whole milk makes the quiche creamier, but 2% milk works well for a lighter version.
- If you prefer a crust, you can use a pre-made pie crust, but this recipe is intentionally crustless for simplicity and lower carbs.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently for a quick meal the next day.
- Make sure the quiche is fully set before removing from the oven to avoid a runny center.
