Whether you’re prepping for a weekend brunch, a quick lunch, or a make-ahead weekday breakfast, this dish is ready to impress—no rolling pin required.
Why I Love This Recipe
This crustless quiche is super versatile. It’s naturally gluten-free, packed with protein, and endlessly adaptable depending on what you have on hand. And because there’s no crust, prep is quick, cleanup is easy, and it reheats like a dream. Plus, the cream and cheese combo gives it a velvety, rich texture that keeps it from ever tasting “light.”
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Swaps and Notes
- Dairy-free? Swap cream for unsweetened almond or oat milk and use dairy-free cheese.
- No bacon? Use sausage, turkey bacon, or go meatless with spinach.
- Cheese variations: Try Swiss, cheddar, or goat cheese for different flavor profiles.
- Add-ins: Sautéed onions, spinach, or bell peppers all work beautifully.
How to Make Creamy Crustless Quiche with Bacon and Mushrooms
1. Preheat Your Oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter, oil, or nonstick spray.
2. Cook the Mushrooms
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté sliced mushrooms until browned and softened, about 4–5 minutes.
- Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix the Custard
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well blended.
- Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add Fillings
- Stir in crumbled bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
5. Bake
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips for Success
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing—it helps the custard firm up.
- For best texture, use room temperature eggs and freshly grated cheese.
- Want a browned top? Broil for the last 2 minutes (but watch closely!).
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat gently.
