This quick-and-easy crustless bacon, spinach and mushroom quiche recipe is a healthier, fuss-free alternative to the classic French egg bake. Omitting the pastry significantly cuts down on prep time – but not the compliments! – and is lighter on calories and carbs.
The fluffy egg custard is layered with crispy bacon, tender spinach, mushrooms and aromatic garlic. So no compromise in flavour here!
With only 20 minutes of hands-on-prep time required, the protein– and nutrient-rich quiche is perfect for entertaining, yet easy enough for a lazy breakfast or brunch with the family. As an added bonus, the dish can be made in advance and freezes well. (You can freeze both a baked quiche and an unbaked, assembled quiche.)
The bacon, spinach and mushroom quiche also makes a delicious, simple dinner served with a tossed side salad. Serve hot or cold.
CHEF’S TIP:
To ensure a perfectly cooked quiche, start checking early to see whether it’s done. Baking times are great guidelines, but because every oven heats differently, it’s always a good idea to take an early look.
