I wanted to make a fun breakfast for christmas. This was full of protein and I thought would be a fun recipe to try. It had cheese and bacon so I knew the hubby would enjoy it!
It was very easy to make and quick to cook.
Bacon Crustless Cheddar Quiche
- pie pan
- 6 large eggs (2 egg whites, 4 eggs)
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- ½ cup crumbled cooked bacon (or up to 1/2 pound)
- Preheat oven to 375° degrees. Coat a glass/ceramic pie plate with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
- In a blender, add eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper.
- Blend until there are no chunks left.
- Pour egg mixture into a bowl and mix in ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cooked bacon.
- Pour into prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle with remaining ¼ cup cheddar cheese and top with 3 slices of reserved bacon
- Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until eggs are cooked through and set in the middle.
- (Note that the dish will be puffy when baking but will settle when taken out of the oven.)
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into slices.
Verdict:
Fantastic! So easy, and it refreshes in the air fryer great.
