Is Quiche Keto-Friendly?

Yes and no. Since I tweaked the original recipe that everyone is used to, this recipe turned out to be a perfect option for people following the high-fat, low-carb diet. I decided to omit the crust altogether, and as a result, I got an incredibly low-carb quiche recipe.

If you want to make the quiche as close to the traditional one as possible, you can make an almond flour crust. To make it, you will need to combine almond flour, an egg, melted butter, and salt. The amount of the ingredients will depend on the size of your chosen quiche pan. Keep in mind that if you add a crust, the quiche will contain more carbs and calories.

You’ll Need These Ingredients

You’ll only need a few ingredients to make this keto crustless bacon and cheese quiche. They are pretty basic ingredients that can be found in almost everyone’s home. If you’re leading a keto lifestyle, then you definitely have all of the needed ingredients in your kitchen.

• Bacon. This is the main ingredient for the low-carb crustless quiche. Whenever you buy bacon, check whether it is sugar-free. Before chopping it up and adding it into the quiche mix, fry it in a skillet until crisp. You can either throw away the fat that the bacon released during frying or add it into the quiche for more flavor.
• Eggs. While most of the keto quiche recipes use around ten large eggs, this one requires only three. The result should turn out perfectly, but if you want it to be thicker, then add two more eggs.
• Cheese. I usually go with shredded mozzarella cheese for most of my recipes, but you can add any other keto-friendly cheese—Monterey Jack, Swiss, or Colby Jack.
• Almond milk. It is a great substitution for cow’s milk. But if you’d rather use cow’s milk, you surely can.
• Spices. I love to add dried scallions, oregano, and garlic powder to the keto quiche. If you want to add some heat to it, you can add a bit of cayenne pepper powder.

Add Veggies

Since this keto quiche is loaded with bacon, cheese, and eggs, you might want to add some veggies to it for a better nutritional value. Here are some options that you can try:

• Spinach
• Broccoli
• Zucchini
• Bell pepper
• Onion

However, be careful when adding extra ingredients since the final carb, protein, and fat ratio may vary depending on the ingredients. 

Serving Ideas

This keto bacon and cheese quiche is quite filling, so you may not need much for your breakfast. Just one slice of the quiche should be enough for you. But if you didn’t add any veggies into the quiche, you can have them on the side.

How to Store the Quiche

If you have leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Wait until the keto bacon quiche is completely cold, then wrap up the slices using food wrap or keep them in a container with a lid. 

Whenever you’re ready to serve the quiche, simply reheat it in the microwave for a minute or less. I like to serve this quiche warm, but my family prefers it cold. So, try out both of the options to know which you prefer.

Furthermore, this cheesy keto quiche is also freezer-friendly. Simply wrap the slices using food wrap and place them in the freezer. You can store it there for up to 3 months. The night before serving, I recommend moving the quiche into the refrigerator and letting it thaw. Then, reheat it in the microwave or serve cold.
