Bacon Cheeseburger Crustless Quiche

3/14/18

Bacon Cheeseburger Crustless Quiche gives new meaning to breakfast for dinner, or even dinner for breakfast. Made with ground beef, bacon, and cheese, it is satisfying and delicious when you add your favorite burger toppings. As breakfast, brunch, or my favorite, brinner, everyone will want a slice (or three) of this gluten-free and low carb egg recipe.

When The Hubby and I first started dating, he was on the Atkins Diet. So yeah, man food, that was pretty much it. Beef, bacon, eggs, cheese. Heck, even low carb beer. He stuck with it for a while, and this sugar- and bread-loving gal was supportive.

Sure, our first date was for ice cream (which later inspired this Salted Ripple Chip No-Churn Ice Cream). But he was trying to “woo” me and he knew of my addiction. Can’t blame a guy for breaking his diet once night all in the name of love. Lucky for him, it worked.

But after that, when we cooked together, it was often Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak and salad or grilled chicken breasts. Except for the time he wanted to make lasagna for me.

Then I wanted to go to Panera and dunk a big hunk of bread in my black bean soup on pretty much a weekly basis. And, you know, it was summer. Ice cream was pretty much a necessity. And wine. There was definitely wine.

Too bad I didn’t discover my wheat allergy until a few years ago. He might have stuck with it a bit longer. Well, except for the ice cream part. And the wine. #badinfluence

Maybe I just needed to learn how to make more low carb recipe earlier. Like quiche. Quiche? Yes, quiche. Manly, low carb quiche…

How do you make Bacon Cheeseburger Crustless Quiche?

• Your basic egg mixture is whisked together, with just eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard, which is my secret ingredient in any quiche recipe or especially recipes with cheddar cheese where I just want to give that sharp cheese flavor or those eggs some pop.
• Cook several slices of bacon in a skillet, then set them aside while you saute onion in the remaining bacon grease. Add ground beef and cook through before stirring in some Worcestershire sauce and ketchup.
• Spread the meat mixture in a glass pie plate, sprinkle with shredded cheese, then pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
• Bake and serve with your favorite toppings, like lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado, or even more ketchup, like one of these 4 Variations of Homemade Ketchup.

This quiche was originally part of The Bug’s birthday request for eggs and Waldorf Fruit Salad, but since then I’ve made it a bunch of times and it is always a winner!

Crustless Bacon Cheeseburger Quiche Recipe

There’s no pesky crust business to get in the way of all the meaty goodness in this Bacon Cheeseburger Crustless Quiche. Of course you have eggs and gooey cheese, but when you sink your teeth into meaty bits of beefy burger and ketchup (made especially tasty when you use my bold, thick Homemade Ketchup to make this hamburger quiche recipe) and crumbled bacon, it’s has so much more flavor and texture than any quiche you’ve ever experienced before.
