These easy mini crustless quiche Lorraine bites are a quick, savory, and satisfying breakfast or brunch option that requires no crust and comes together in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your 12-cup muffin pan with non-stick spray or line with paper liners.
  2. Place chopped bacon in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Leave some bacon fat in the skillet.
  3. Add diced onion to the skillet with bacon fat and cook over medium heat until soft and translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1 cup heavy cream until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir in shredded Gruyère cheese, cooked bacon, and sautéed onions. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if using. Mix gently to combine.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin pan cups, filling about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the quiches puff slightly and are set in the center but still moist.
  8. Let the quiche bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Sprinkle fresh chopped chives or parsley on top.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and cream for smooth blending. Start bacon in a cold pan for crispiness. Fill muffin cups ¾ full to avoid spills. Tent with foil if tops brown too fast. Prepare bacon and onions ahead to save time. Use non-stick spray or liners to prevent sticking.
