Crustless Quiche Lorraine Recipe

This Crustless Quiche Lorraine takes all of the delicious flavors of a traditional Quiche Lorraine but ditches the pie crust and heavy cream to make for a breakfast casserole-style meal prep breakfast instead. Pancetta, shallots, gouda cheese, and thyme bring all of the flavor to this dish, making it extra-special for weekday mornings!

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces pancetta
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 4 ounces gouda cheese, shredded
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F, and line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet over medium/high heat, cook the pancetta until crispy. Once cooked, add the pancetta to the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer, and drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan.
  • Add the chopped shallots to the pan with the tablespoon of reserved fat. Cook over medium/high heat until slightly browned and crispy. Spoon the shallots into the baking dish over top of the pancetta.
  • Sprinkle the shredded gouda over the pancetta and shallots.
  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to a blender. Blend until smooth and then pour over the other filling ingredients in the baking dish.
  • Top with the fresh thyme, then bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes, or until the top has a golden brown and it no longer wiggles in the center. Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting, then serve warm.
