Ingredients:

6 large eggs: The foundation of this recipe & what will give these tiny crustless mini QUICHE LORRAINE masterpieces their velvety texture. You can keep those yolks bright but gotta eggs to make it proper quiche-y.

1 ½ cups heavy cream: The secret to a LUXURIOUS custard filling. Don’t fear, not all QUICHE LORRAINE need heavy! Go high-fat from Heaven baby!

½ cup grated Gruyère cheese: Okay, so cheese is an essential… It blends into that beautiful custard & adds a sharp bite that keeps things from being too bland.

½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled: This adds a smoky, savory flavor that perfectly complements the creamy egg mixture. Choose thick-cut bacon for maximum flavor and crispiness. For a healthier option, use turkey bacon or substitute with diced ham or even cooked sausage.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper: Seasoning is essential to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients. Adjust the amount of salt to your taste.

Optional:

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley: These herbs add a fresh, bright flavor and a beautiful garnish. Use whichever you prefer or a combination of both.

Dash of nutmeg: A touch of nutmeg adds a warm, subtle flavor to the quiche. It’s a traditional ingredient in quiche Lorraine, but it’s optional and can be omitted if you prefer.

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard: A small amount of Dijon mustard adds a tangy, savory note that balances the sweetness of the cream and cheese. It can be added directly to the egg mixture or swirled on top of the quiche before baking for a more pronounced flavor.

Steps

Here are the steps to make the most delicious Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine:

Step 1: Get Your Oven Ready for Liftoff!

Step 2: Prepare Your Trusty Muffin Tin

A good tip: lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line them with silicone liners. This ensures your Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine look their absolute best AND release effortlessly!

Step 3: Ditch the Grease

Remember that heavenly Gruyère cheese? Take that and sprinkle a generous ¼ cup into our egg mixture. Give it a swirl to make it smooth and happy. Your Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine are getting ready to shine!

Step 6: Bacon, Bacon, Everywhere

Divide the bacon among your muffin cups, pushing it gently down. This is where those little Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine truly get infused with a satisfying bacon crunch. Remember, less filler, more bacon, that’s my motto! Your taste buds will thank you.

Step 7: Fill ‘Er Up!

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon in your muffin cups, filling them almost to the top! These babies gotta prepare to ooze, and you gotta get ready for the DELICIOUSNESS! Your Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine are one step closer to perfection.

Step 8: Bake to Perfection

Pop ’em in that preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, like your boyfriend/girlfriend waiting for you (that’s a metaphor, people!). You want those edges to be gently golden and the centers slightly jiggly. Be patient… Your Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine are worth the wait.

Step 9: Ta-da! It’s Time to Shine!

2

Prepare Silicone Muffin Cups For Outstanding Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine

This light dusting of flour will help create a barrier between your quiche and the silicone cups, making for a clean release once they're baked. For extra insurance of perfectly release Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine, lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners. This extra step is crucial for achieving those picture-perfect quiches, free from any sticking mishaps.

Cook your crumbled cooked bacon over medium heat, making sure to drain away any excess grease. You want crisp, deliciously flavorful morsels perfectly suited for your Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine. Bacon is a key ingredient in any good quiche Lorraine, so taking the time to cook it properly will ensure the perfect balance of textures and flavors. Make sure to drain the bacon thoroughly to avoid a greasy quiche. To achieve a truly crispy bacon, consider baking it in the oven on a wire rack for about 15-20 minutes at 400°F.

Whisk the Base of Your Exquisite Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine

In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs, heavy cream, salt, and freshly ground pepper for about 2 minutes. Gently whisk until it’s rich, velvety, and completely homogenous—that’s how you get a fantastic Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine! Whisking the egg mixture is essential to creating a smooth, airy base for your quiche. Be sure to use a whisk that's large enough to accommodate the volume of the mixture. Don't over-whisk, as this can make the quiche tough. A few minutes of gentle whisking is all it takes to achieve a perfect consistency.
5

Grace Your Wonderfully Creamy Mixture with Gruyere Cheese

Sprinkle that divine Gruyère cheese, a glorious ¼ cup, into your velvety egg mixture and gently whisk until it’s smoothly incorporated. Your Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine are well on their way to cheese-infused bliss! Gruyere cheese is a classic addition to quiche Lorraine, adding a savory and slightly nutty flavor. Be sure to grate the cheese before adding it to the mixture, as this will help it melt more evenly. If you prefer a different type of cheese, feel free to experiment with other options like cheddar or Swiss.

Divide Bacon Amongst Muffin Cups for a Delicious Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine Experience

Divide that cooked bacon evenly among the prepared muffin cups, gently pressing it down into each. Now those Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine will have just the right amount of delicious bacon with their creamy filling. Evenly distributing the bacon will ensure each quiche has a nice amount of bacon throughout. If you're using a lot of bacon, you might need to adjust the amount of egg mixture you add to each muffin cup.
7

Generously Fill Muffin Cups With Delicious Egg Mixture

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the bacon in your muffin cups, filling them almost to the top! Don't be shy! You want overflowing, ooze-potential Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine perfection. Don't worry if the mixture seems like a lot - it will settle as it cooks. Filling the muffin cups generously will ensure that you have a nice, filling quiche Lorraine.

Bake Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine to Flawless Golden

Place the muffin tin of mini quiche creations in the preheated oven (375°F/ 190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are gently golden and the centers are just beginning to set—slightly jiggly is best! Those beautifully baked Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine will be worth the wait. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your muffin cups and the amount of egg mixture you used. Keep an eye on the quiches and remove them from the oven when the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. They should be slightly jiggly in the middle, as they will continue to cook as they cool.

Hot! Resist the urge to jump in and grab them! While those golden delights cool, pat yourself on the back for crafting truly exceptional Crustless Mini Quiche Lorraine!
