The Magic Formula For A One-Serving Crustless Quiche Lorraine

At its core, a quiche is a savory custard that blends the creaminess of milk or cream with the structure of eggs. For this specific single serving Crustless Quiche Lorraine, I opt for 2 large eggs coupled with 4 tablespoons of heavy cream. This ratio serves as the foundation for all my crustless quiche recipes, and from there, the sky’s the limit for flavor combinations.

Leftovers lurking in your fridge? Transform them into something spectacular with a quiche. Simply toss in your preferred cheese, proteins, or veggies to craft an extraordinary meal in no time.

• Seasonings: Salt, black pepper, and a dash of nutmeg are essential for enhancing the flavor profile of the quiche. Don’t skip these; they elevate the dish to the next level.
• Bacon and Gruyère Cheese: These are the hallmark ingredients in a traditional Quiche Lorraine. Bacon adds a smoky, salty dimension while Gruyère cheese brings a nutty richness. If Gruyère is not available, Swiss cheese makes a suitable substitute. If you’ve got a few strips of bacon leftover, consider using them in Crack Chicken or a Bacon, Egg and Cheese Cup. Any extra Gruyère can be used in French Onion Soup or Green Bean Casserole.

Recipe Variations

Looking to to mix it up? This single serve Crustless Quiche Lorraine is already delicious, but if you’re interested in some variations, you’re in the right place.

• Swap the Cheese: Instead of Gruyere, try Emmental or Jarlsberg for a slightly different yet equally delicious flavor profile.
• Add Veggies: Incorporate some chopped spinach or bell peppers for an added layer of complexity and a pop of color.
• Go Meat-Free: If you want to keep it vegetarian, skip the bacon and use sautéed mushrooms or smoked tempeh as a hearty alternative.
• Spice It Up: If you like a bit of heat, a dash of crushed red pepper flakes or a dollop of sriracha sauce can elevate your quiche.
