8 ounces bacon cut into strips
⅓ cup chopped onion
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups heavy cream
½ teaspoon sea salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3 minutes. Add the onion to the pan, and cook for another 7 minutes or until the bacon is cooked through.
Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
Spray a pie plate very well with oil, or grease it with butter.
Sprinkle the bacon mixture on the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with thyme and cayenne pepper. Top with cheddar.
Whisk together the eggs, cream, and salt in a large bowl. Pour over the cheese and bacon.
Bake until just set, about 40 to 45 minutes.
Allow to cool before serving - I recommend letting it cool for about 45 minutes.

Notes

Storage

Refrigerator Storage

You can store this keto quiche covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Freezing

You can freeze this quiche for up to three months. If you are freezing a cooked quiche, I recommend cutting it and freezing in individual portions, for an easy meal without a lot of planning.

Is it better to freeze quiche cooked or uncooked?

I find that it is easier to freeze the quiche once it has been cooked, since I don't have to worry about spilling on my way to the freezer. Also, I love the convenience of having frozen portions of it that I can pull out and let defrost overnight in the refrigerator when I know my time is going to be tight the next morning.

If you want to freeze an uncooked crustless keto quiche, you can! Just wrap it tightly in freezer paper and foil.

Either way, I recommend thawing overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.

Reheating

Reheating quiche isn't necessary - it is delicious straight from the fridge!

If you want to enjoy it warm, it is easy to reheat.

I prefer the taste when I reheat quiche in the oven. To do this, you can cover it in foil and cook in a 350° F oven until it is heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes.

If you prefer, you can also reheat it in the microwave.

Make Ahead

You can make this the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Just be careful when you are transporting the quiche from the fridge. I find it easier to prep all of the components and then put them together at the last minute.
