Ingredients

The full printable recipe card with measurements and instructions is found at the bottom of the post.

  • Egg Creations in Mushroom and Spinach: I use a couple of cartons of Burnbrae Egg Creations in Mushroom and Spinach which make prep super easy! If preferred, feel free to use regular eggs and add some extra mushroom and spinach yourself.
  • Bacon: You’ll need 13 slices of bacon for this recipe.
  • Veggies: Our veggie blend consists of baby spinach, white button mushrooms, and sweet onion.
  • Sour Cream: Sour cream mixed with the eggs creates the most mouthwatering flavor and creamy texture.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Parsley: For garnish, if desired.

How to Make Bacon Spinach Mushroom Crustless Quiche

  • Step One: Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then drain the excess fat, saving 1 tablespoon in the pan. Crumble one cooled.
  • Step Two: Heat the pan to medium heat, add in the onions, and cook until softened. Add in mushrooms and cook for a couple of minutes, then stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.Transfer the veggie mixture to a casserole dish, then spread it into an even layer.
  • Step Three: In a mixing bowl, combine the Burnbrae Farms Egg Creations and sour cream. Pour that into the casserole dish over the veggies, then top with bacon and cheese. Bake at 325ºF for 40 minutes.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Grease the baking dish. A light layer of cooking spray helps prevent the egg from sticking to the pan. That way you can slice it and remove it easily when you’re ready to serve.
  • Don’t over-cook. Take the egg bake out of the oven as soon as the center is cooked through. Over-cooked eggs can be rubbery and tough.
  • Can’t find Burnbrae Farms Egg Creations? You can use regular eggs instead! You’ll need 1000 grams of liquid egg to fill out the casserole.

Variations and Substitutions

  • Add other veggies. I love the combination of spinach, mushroom, and onion, but feel free to add in a handful of diced bell pepper, jalapeño for some spice, green onions, or even diced and cooked potato.
  • Try sausage instead of bacon. Feel free to swap the bacon out for your favorite cooked breakfast sausage.
  • Make it vegetarian. Simply skip the meat or use a vegetarian variety of bacon.
  • Use another cheese. Try mozzarella, feta, goat, pepper jack…You really can’t go wrong!

Storage Instructions

Leftover crustless quiche can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm single slices in the microwave or warm the whole thing up in the oven until heated through.

Can this be frozen?

Yes! Simply let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to serve, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat.

What is the Difference Between a Frittata and a Crustless Quiche?

Most of us probably know the primary difference between a frittata and a quiche is that a frittata doesn’t have a crust and a quiche does. But what about when the quiche is crustless? Are they still different?

Yes!

The key difference is that a frittata is typically made with just eggs as the base while a quiche incorporates some sort of dairy—milk or cream; in this case, sour cream! The addition of dairy creates a richer flavor and silkier, smoother, more custard-like texture.

How Do You Keep a Crustless Quiche from Getting Soggy?

Pre-cook your veggies! Veggies contain a lot of water which, if not cooked out before being added to the quiche, will release into the quiche itself. For the best texture, make sure that you’re pre-cooking your veggies, then adding them to the egg mixture.

Bacon, Spinach and Mushroom Crustless Quiche Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why is my crustless quiche soggy? ›

If your quiche appears too watery to serve it could be because it was overbaked or underbaked, the egg to dairy ratio was not correct, the ingredients have too much liquid or it was baked on the wrong rack in the oven.

Is milk better than heavy cream in quiche? ›

Heavy Cream and Milk – For the best tasting quiche, use a combination of whole milk and heavy cream. (Or simply use half-and-half.) Using just heavy cream produces an overly thick filling. Whole milk is great, but a combo of heavy cream and milk is better.

Should vegetables be cooked before putting in quiche? ›

Cook the Veggies First

"Vegetables will take longer to cook than your egg custard, so always sauté onions, steam broccoli, etc. before you add them to your egg mixture to ensure every bite of quiche will be perfectly cooked," says Kristin Beringson, executive chef at Henley in Nashville.

What can I use in quiche instead of heavy cream? ›

Use half-and-half as a 1:1 substitute for heavy cream. It can work nearly as well for bringing creamy texture and flavor to sauces, soups and stews, mashed potatoes, quiches, and casseroles. In a pinch, it can even be used for whipping. While you won't get stiff peaks, you can build volume if you work quickly.

Can you put too many eggs in a quiche? ›

Using too many eggs in the custard results in a quiche that rubbery and too firm when baked, while not using enough will prevent the custard from setting. Follow This Tip: Remember this ratio: 1 large egg to 1/2 cup of dairy.

Can I substitute Greek yogurt for heavy cream in quiche? ›

If you're low on dairy ingredients, don't fret. Greek yogurt can substitute milk, sour cream and heavy cream. Milk: If you're short on milk, half and half or light cream, Greek yogurt can be used to make up for the difference.

Why isn't my quiche creamy? ›

Figuring out your proportions couldn't be simpler – for each egg you use, you need half a cup of milk. Too little dairy, and your quiche will be dry instead of creamy. Too much, and it won't set properly.

Why is quiche so high in fat? ›

Quiche is bad news when it comes to a healthy diet. It's usually made with cheese and cream in the filling as well as butter in the pastry case, so it's often high in saturated fat and calories. Ingredients like bacon will add salt and more saturated fat.

Should spinach be cooked before adding to quiche? ›

You can cook it down ahead of time, or just add it fresh/raw. I use cooked-down fresh spinach in this goat cheese spinach & sun-dried tomato quiche. Milk: Whole milk is best for the creamiest texture, but 1/2 cup (120ml) each heavy cream and whole milk is fantastic, too, for an even richer filling.

Should I Prebake a pie crust for quiche? ›

And yes, as you'll see, you should always prebake quiche crust to avoid a gummy pastry. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roll out your homemade or purchased refrigerated dough into a 12-inch circle.

Is it OK to cook quiche the day before? ›

Whether you serve it as an appetizer or a main dish, quiche can either be cooked ahead of time and served warm, cold, or at room temperature.

What is the formula for quiche? ›

Quiche Ratio: 1 large egg to 1/2 cup of dairy

You'll need to increase the amount of eggs and milk based on the size of your quiche, so knowing the basic ratio makes it really easy to scale up or down. For a standard 9-inch quiche: Use 3 large eggs (6 ounces) 1 1/2 cups of whole milk or cream (12 ounces)

What is a quiche without pastry called? ›

WHAT IS A FRITTATA? Frittatas are Italian in origin and can be described as a cross between an omelet and a crustless quiche.

Can I use blended cottage cheese instead of heavy cream? ›

Cottage cheese alone can be a good substitute for heavy cream to help add thickness to recipes like sauces. Simply remove the lumps by blending it with an immersion blender or food processor. You can also mix it with milk to help replicate the smooth, creamy texture of heavy cream for use in other recipes.

What causes a soggy bottom with quiche? ›

Wet fillings will produce a soggy quiche

These vegetables, while tasty, have a high water content when raw, which will weep into the quiche as it bakes.

How do you firm up a quiche? ›

Simply put, eggs do the thickening and cream creates richness. I use a ratio of 1 egg to 1/3 cup of cream to get a firm quiche with a lot of flavor. Make sure that whatever you're adding to the filling (veggies in particular) is free of any excess liquids.

Why is my quiche jiggly? ›

It doesn't matter what kind of quiche you're making; the best quiches jiggle a little bit on the top/center. They just do. It means they're perfectly baked – wobbling for the whole world to watch. When you've mastered this technique, you know you've officially made it.
