Bacon and Leek Quichelettes

A individual crustless quiches filled with goat cheese, mushrooms, bacon, and leek

Quiches are such a treat for brunch or breakfast. The silky-smooth egg custard paired with delicious fillings are both light and filling. This recipe is a crustless variation and is made in individually portioned dishes. This allows for a shorter prep and baking time as well as allowing for a gluten-free option for breakfast.

You can use any small individual sized ramekins or baking safe dishes to make this. I personally use shallow ramekins that can also be used for desserts like crème brûlée. Just note, if you use a deeper dish, the bake time may need to be adjusted.

Serve these individual quiches with a side salad or pastry. Enjoy!

– The Recipe –

Bacon and Leek Quichelettes

prep time: 10 min

total time: 50 min

makes: 4 servings


Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 c whole milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 t salt
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 2 large button mushrooms
  • 1/4 c thinly sliced leeks
  • 1 T goat cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease 4 individual ramekins.
  2. Slice the mushrooms, leeks and bacon into bite sized pieces and in a small frying pan cook on medium high heat until the leeks and mushrooms have softened and the bacon has crisped, about 3 minutes
  3. While the filling is cooking, whisk the eggs, milk, and salt together until well combined.
  4. Cool the filling for about a minute then whisk together with the egg and milk. Crumble in the goat cheese and combine.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly between the 4 dishes (about 1/2 c per serving). And place in a cake pan. Pour water in the pan to come up about halfway on the sides of the ramekins.
  6. Bake for about 40 minutes until the center is just set. Remove from the oven and serve.
