This crustless Bacon and Spinach Quiche recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch or dinner! And, it’s made with bacon – BONUS!
I’m a huge fan of brunch. There’s no other meal where it’s acceptable to have shrimp cocktail, waffles and dessert. Plus there’s all the fruit and don’t forget the Mimosas.
MY LATEST VIDEOSHi! It’s Susanne from New South Charm back with another great recipe. This month I’m sharing a great idea for Easter (or anytime) Brunch.
One of the things I love to do on holidays is make brunch for my family. For Valentine’s Day this year I made breakfast in bed for my husband. Who doesn’t love have their favorite breakfast served to them in bed?
This year for Easter my parents are coming over to our house after church for brunch. I’m planning for this Bacon and Spinach Crustless Quiche to be the star of the meal. I just know everyone is going to love how savory this is.
If you’ve never made a quiche before it can seem a little intimidating. This version, crustless, takes the intimidation factor way down. Plus, with this version there are fewer calories.
When I make this quiche I buy a bag of spinach because it’s the just the right amount. Also since the stems are already removed it’s a good timesaver. Before using I rinse the spinach throughly and then dry it in my salad spinner.
If you scrolled down looked at the recipe first you might have noticed that it calls for Gruyere cheese. If you want to swap it out for a less expensive cheese I recommend Swiss. They are both mild, white cheese with similar flavor. If you’re lucky then your grocery store will carry Swiss cheese that’s already shredded another great timesaver.
If you love breakfast as much as I do beside to hop over to New South Charm and check out my recipe for Western Omelet Frittata. I also have a great recipe for Make Ahead Breakfast Quesadillas.
Do you like to have breakfast foods for other meals than breakfast? Are you a fan of brunch or even breakfast for dinner?
