Are you looking for an easy low carb breakfast, brunch idea, lunch, or snack recipe? These rich and cheesy individual keto quiche muffins with spinach and bacon are the perfect meal for any time of day. We served them at my daughter’s baby shower brunch and they were a huge hit with everyone–whether they were on a low carb diet or not!
They’re incredibly quick and easy to put together, and because this keto quiche recipe is so versatile, you can tailor the ingredients to suit your taste.
Feel free to use any type of cheese you have on hand. I often use a mixture of Swiss, sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, but you could use any type of cheese.
Muenster, fontina, provolone, Gruyere cheese, cottage, goat, or Romano would all be good options. Trader Joe’s sells a wonderful shredded Swiss and Gruyere cheese blend that works great in this recipe, too!
The best thing about this homemade quiche is that no matter what kind of cheese you use, when you make this easy recipe, I promise you’ll end up with something wonderful.
You could also substitute broccoli or asparagus for the spinach, or add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or green onions. I like adding bacon to my keto quiche, but if you prefer different flavors, you could leave it out or substitute sausage or leftover ham.
Just promise me you’ll give this amazing crustless quiche recipe a try, because I’ve never served these keto-friendly quiche to anyone who didn’t absolutely love them!
Even people who aren’t following a keto diet or low carb diet often say they prefer this great recipe to traditional quiche.
Mini Quiche with Spinach and Bacon
Makes 10-12 crustless low carb quiche, depending on the size of muffin cups (Note: I make these in regular-sized muffin pans, not mini muffin pans)
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
5-6 oz. frozen chopped spinach (about 1/2 package)
5 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (Trader Joe’s sells a wonderful shredded Swiss and Gruyere cheese blend that is perfect for this recipe!)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese
6 slices of bacon (using pre-cooked bacon will save you quite a bit of prep time)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Spray muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Cook the bacon until crispy and drain the excess bacon grease on a paper towel. Then break or chop the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat; add spinach and cook until heated through.
- In a large bowl, using a whisk, beat eggs with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in cheeses, spinach, and bacon until well combined.
- Spoon egg mixture into muffin cups, filling each cup about half way. I like to use a 1/3-cup measuring cup to add the egg mixture to the muffin pan and usually end up with 12 fairly equal portions.
- Bake your quiche muffins in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until set and slightly golden brown on the edges.
- After baking, remove quiche from muffin pans using a knife to loosen around the edges, if necessary. Serve warm.
Quiche may be cooked ahead of time, cooled to room temperature, and frozen in a freezer bag or an airtight container for later use. Before serving, thaw and reheat your individual keto quiche in a 350° F. oven for 8-10 minutes.
Wondering what to serve with quiche?
A side of fresh mixed berries is the perfect accompaniment to this quiche recipe–especially if you’re serving it for breakfast or brunch.
In summer, I recommend serving quiche with a tossed green salad.
In winter, you could serve these individual keto quiche Lorraine with a side of diced or hash brown potatoes (or, if you’re following a keto diet, you could substitute a cauliflower version).
