This hamburger quiche with ground beef, bacon, and cheese is satisfying and delicious when you add your favorite burger toppings. As breakfast, brunch, or my favorite, brinner, all of your favorite guys will want a slice (or three) of this gluten-free and low carb crustless bacon cheeseburger quiche recipe.
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.
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 awhile, and this sugar- and bread-loving gal was supportive. Sure, our firs 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 chicken and veggie kabobs on the grill. Except for the time he wanted to make me lasagna, which was good, but even he’ll admit was not the World’s Best Lasagna. 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 howe 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!

Wine Pairings for Man Food #SundaySupper byENOFYLZ Wine Blog
Jimbocous says
If you’re missing the crust, for a nice twist line the pie pan with a flour tortilla first.
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Jimbocous says
Thanks 🙂 I do that all the time with quiches, and if the pan is oiled you get a nice flaky crust effect. To make it fit the pan better, nuke it in a plastic bag for 10 secs or so to get it nice and flexible first.
Brianne Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Awesome tip, Jim…. thank you!
Peggy says
My hubby loved it. I liked it with avocado and tomato. I’m glad I checked it at 25 minutes though, because it was done.
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Oh good! Thanks. Yes, some ovens cook a little differently!
Tom says
I’m a real man who also is a great cook. This was only OK and I won’t make again. My wife agrees. We both think there are far better burger “quiche” options out there.
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
I’m sorry you didn’t like it. It’s been one of our favorites.
Deborah Cook says
I don’t see where to add the bacon or dry mustard. Am I missing something?
I just crumbled the bacon and added it as well as the dry mustard when I mixed in the ketchup.
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
You are right, I missed the bacon, so I fixed it. The dry mustard is whisked into the egg mixture.
Shelli says
Did I miss the nutrition info or is it not there?
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
I’m sorry, I do not calculate nutrition info
Mel says
Looks great! Doesn’t say when to put the bacon in, but I will try adding it to the meat mixure at the time the ketchup and worcestershire is added.
Matt says
Looks awesome! I am a big fun of breakfast for dinner on occasion, and this would definitely work. Maybe with some hash browns (not atkins friendly of course, but why not?).
Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen says
What a fabulous new recipe for our next brunch! I can’t wait to make it!!
Kim Honeycutt says
I saw this on The Country Cook Weekend Potluck and just have to pin it! Thanks!!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Thanks so much!
The (Gluten-Free!) Food Gurly says
This is PERFECT! I am not only gluten-free, but I am also just starting Atkins! 🙂 I’m doing it with my sister for support, not that I can’t stand to lose weight myself…just I’ve never been one to try ‘fad’ diets. Visiting from Show Stopper…mind if I take a look around? Don’t worry, I wiped my feet at the door!! 😉
Annie @ Annie's Noms says
This looks amazing! Just printed it and I reckon it’s going to become a favourite for dinner!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Thanks! Same for us too!
Tammi @ Momma's Meals says
I would surly consider this manly!! My man would love it!
Cindys Recipes and Writings says
Nice spin on Bacon Cheeseburgers Brianne!
Gwen @simplyhealthyfamily says
This sounds delicious and a perfect simple, summer dinner. I love that it’s crustless, kudos!
Danielle Nichols says
Now this is how you make a quiche into man food! YUM!
Renee says
What funny is my husband enjoys quiche with the crust and all. I’m sure he would enjoy this one very much since cheeseburgers are on the top of his favorites list.
Nancy @ gottagetbaked says
I loved hearing more about your early courtship days with your hubs, Brianne. Smart man to woo you with ice cream, Atkins diet be damned! You are brilliant for stuffing cheeseburger into quiche – two of my favourite foods! I think I could finish one of these off just my myself. That means I’ll have to make two – one for me and one for my husband. I hope you guys had a great Father’s Day yesterday!
Ann says
I’m so glad your version of our family favorite cheeseburger frittata has been a hit in your house! I think I am due to put this on our menu again soon!
Serena @ Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch says
This is perfect man food! My husband would love this!
Sarah | Curious Cuisiniere says
I love this idea to beef up quiche. It looks fantastic!
Simply Gourmet says
I like the idea of man quiche—great flavor combination too. Bacon is always welcomed in our home and Cory would gobble this up in a minute. Thanks for sharing!
Martin D Redmond says
Want! Looks amazing!
Kim (Feed Me, Seymour) says
I love the idea of a bacon cheeseburger quiche! It is so unexpected but so delicious.
Moms & Munchkins says
I have to try this! It sounds and looks so yummy! I think it will be great for people on low carb diets.
susan @ the wimpy vegetarian says
A man quiche indeed! My hubs is a huge fan of Atkins and is on a modified Atkins now. It really works for him, but it’s like the opposite of how I eat. I too am a #badinfluence. LOL. He would really love this. And so would the kids. I think the next time they come, I’m making this. Such a great idea.
Shaina says
This is definitely a manly quiche if I ever saw one. I like the story you told about your first date, that’s cute he sacrificed his diet for ice cream and the chance to impress you lol. He’s a keeper!
Marion@Life Tastes Good says
ManQuiche!! I love it! We eat a lot of low carb, so this is definitely going on the menu soon! pinned!
Sarah says
This makes me think of the first pizza my dad ever made on his own… double bacon cheeseburger! I added onion and peppers to mine but it was such a fabulous combination. A quiche would be amazing!
Tara says
Real men do eat quiche especially when it is as yummy as this!!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
You better believe it, Tara. Thanks!
Roz says
This adds a whole new amped up dimension to quiche. Superbly photographed too!!!
Roz
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Not just eggs and veggies here!
Marlene @Nosh My Way says
Now whoever said real men don’t eat quiche never tried your recipe. It’s on my list of things to make. Pinning for later.
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Thanks Marlene!
Laura says
I love that he broke his diet for your first date, very cute. This quiche sound amazing. I have been looking for some good crustless quiche reipes as mine never turn out so I think I will try it this week.
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Good thing it worked out, right? 🙂
Shannon @VillageGirlBlog says
Now this is a quiche my Husband would totally eat. Me too for that matter. lol Yum!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
I enjoyed it just as much as my guys!
MealDiva says
Everything about this screams “man food”– perfectly delicious!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Agreed – thanks!
Liz says
Yup, this might actually get my quiche avoiding hubby to ask for seconds! It looks terrific, Brianne!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Beef and bacon always help!
Nichole C says
My husband is almost always eating lower carb so this brunchy dish is man enough for him! And looks good for me too 🙂
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
This will be perfect for him!
Manu says
What a fantastic idea! It looks delicious, especially with home-made ketchup!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
It was definitely a hit!
