Description

A no-fuss creamy crustless quiche that's packed with savory flavor from bacon and Gruyère cheese. 

Ingredients

  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 cup thinly sliced white onion
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Pinch grated fresh nutmeg
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (4 ounces)
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan (2 ounces)

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350ºF (176ºC) with rack set in middle position. Coat a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy; 8–10 minutes. Using a spoon, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
  • Return reserved tablespoon drippings to now empty skillet (or use olive oil). Add onion and cook over medium heat until softened and starting to brown, 5–7 minutes; let cool slightly.
  • For custard, vigorously whisk eggs in a large bowl until light in color and bubbly, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk, salt, cayenne and nutmeg until thoroughly combined.
