This crustless version skips the crust entirely and goes straight for the good stuff: a rich custard of eggs, heavy cream, and a triple hit of Swiss, cheddar, and Parmesan.
Crispy microwave bacon gets crumbled on top, and the whole thing cooks in the microwave in about 12 minutes.
It puffs up golden, sets into a silky wedge, and tastes like brunch at a French bistro.
Pro Tips
- Grate the cheeses fresh for the smoothest melt; pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can make the custard grainy
- Let the quiche stand the full 5 minutes after microwaving so the center finishes setting with carryover heat
- Works beautifully as a low-carb or keto-friendly brunch since there’s no crust
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the custard for a classic French touch
