CRUSTLESS MINI QUICHE LORRAINE

Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine image

My favorite comfort food on a low-carb diet is this quick and easy crustless quiche. I make them with and without spinach, and sometimes double the amount of bacon, as the mood strikes me. This is a crustless, low-carb version of quiche Lorraine that I developed when my family switched over to a LCHF diet. Not intended for low-fat diets!

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
1 (6 ounce) bag fresh spinach, finely chopped
1 (14 ounce) package cooked bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons dried chives
6 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
8 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
4 teaspoons salt-free seasoning blend
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Spray a skillet with nonstick spray. Saute spinach over medium-low heat just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Divide bacon among the muffin cups. Squeeze moisture out of the spinach and place on top of bacon. Sprinkle with chives, then top with equal portions of Swiss cheese.
Blend eggs, cream, seasoning blend, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour mixture slowly into each cup, stopping just before it reaches the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving; it's normal for puffy quiche to settle and flatten.
