Ingredients

6 large eggs
½ cup whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ½ cups mix-ins of choice**
1 - 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite variety
Fresh parsley for garnish
Red pepper flakes for garnish
1 ½ Mix ins, options include cooked bacon ham, or sausage; roasted or sauteed vegetables, fresh greens, fresh herbs

Instructions

Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a deep-dish 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Mix well for one minute.
Scatter the add-ins in the bottom of the pie pan.
Top with cheese.
Pour egg mixture over add-ins. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet.
Bake the quiche until the center is just about set, about 35-40 minutes, or until puffy and golden at the edges. The center should be cooked through without visible liquid. Let cool a few minutes, then cut into wedges and enjoy warm, garnished with parsley and red pepper.
Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Use the right amount of add ins. Be sure that you aren't adding more than about 1 ½ cups of meats and vegetables. Any more than that and you'll overflow the pie pan.

Pre-Cook Vegetables and Meats. Things mixed into the egg mixture won't cook, so be sure that everyone is cooked before you add it in.

Try Roasting the Veggies. If you're adding broccoli, onions, or bell peppers, roast them in the oven to get caramelized and flavorful.

Allow to cool before slicing. Give the crustless keto quiche time to fully set after you remove it from the oven. 10-20 minutes of cooling should be perfect.

To check for doneness use a thermometer to ensure that the center of the quiche is between 165°F and 185°F (74°C and 85°C).

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Quiche can be frozen for up to three months and reheated in the oven. Bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes or until heated through.
Leftovers are great for lunches the next day, or for meal prep for the week. Reheat in the microwave at 50% power for 2-4 minutes.
Add any low carb add ins that you like, such as bacon, ham, chicken, vegetables, and herbs. Be sure to cook your additions before adding them to the eggs.
