I love making these little crustless mini quiche. They are so easy to do, and you can freeze a whole batch of them for school lunches.
Crustless Mini Quiche
Add whatever vegetables or cheese you fancy. How about some spinach at the bottom, a chunk of blue cheese, cream cheese, asparagus, mushrooms etc.
They have only 1.2g carbs and high in fat to keep you full for longer. You can even use the same principle to make a crustless regular quiche.
1.2g net carbs. Wheat free, gluten free, paleo, LCHF crustless mini quiche. Check it out.Line a regular quiche dish with bacon, crack eggs on top, add vegetables, cheese and seasoning. Add salmon, cream cheese and dill? That would be my favourite.
Take a look here for more low carb snack ideas. By eating LCHF, snacking is usually a thing of the past, but sometimes we need a little something.
Crustless Mini Quiche
Crustless mini quiche are adaptable and can be favoured with any herbs and spices you like. You can even hide vegetables in them so picky kids can amp up their greens.

Can you reheat from freezing? If so, what’s the best way? Thanks
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Yes, you can either microwave or use the oven to reheat the mini quiches. The oven is probably the preferred method so they don’t go soggy, but for a fast and convenient method, use the reheat function on the microwave.
Claire says
I am veggie, in your experience might mini crustless quiches work using beaten egg, veggies, cheese, just in the silicon cases without the bacon lining? I am about to start making packed lunches again for me and hubby, and these would be easy to make half veggie and half not! I enjoy reading your recipes and am looking forward to making more of them once I’m back in my own kitchen! Thank you 🙂
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Yes you can go without the crust, that would be a great way to make them. It is such an adaptable recipe, just add whatever you fancy into them too.
kelly polizzi says
i dont eat cheese but my family does. as a result, i dont often know which cheeses work best when. Is there one in particular you like to use when making these?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I tend to always have a big block of Edam, Colby, or mild at hand. I also have used mozzarella (the pre shredded type) too.
Cherieann says
Is there a way to get a pic of how you are putting the slice of bacon in to cover the bottom and the sides? I’m so visual! <3
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Great idea, I’ll see if I can do this next time I make them.
Denise Farr says
These are great… simple to make, and good to eat hot or cold from the fridge. They came out of the greased muffin tins with no trouble. I can see lots of possibilities with ingredients and they will be excellent food to take on day hikes.
Lynn Goodman says
How much is a rasher of bacon, and do you fry it first or put it in raw? Thanks!
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
A rasher is a slice of bacon, and no you don’t cook them first. You line each muffin/cupcakes case with a raw bacon slice and it will cook as the egg and cheese cooks.
kate says
Although I liked the idea, these are by no means quiche! ?
MariaTeresa says
I agree. Still sounds good, even if it is just an omelette.
Elizabeth says
Or a baked egg?
Melanie says
On all the kids lunches (looking at the monthly print out) the lunches are served cold correct? Nothing needs to be warmed? I’m real freaky about food poisoning, heat don’t heat, ya know. 🙂
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I send all my children to school with lunch boxes, all cold from the fridge with no feezer blocks. In over 10 years of lunch making for 3 children and my husband they have never got sick. Food is only out of the fridge for a few hours. I am in NZ where it can get up to 30C in the summer. If you really are concerned, send with a chiller block or in a thermos if you want to serve them a warm meal.
Melanie says
Great thanks! ??
Andrea Young says
How do you defrost them?
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
Just unwrap each slice and put them on the kitchen bench or in the fridge to defrost.
cat says
I would love can post the baking temperature in Fahrenheit.
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
I am slowly going through my recipes and making them more international. Most of my baking is done at 180C which is equivalent to 350F.
Claire says
There are loads of oven temp conversion charts online, just print one off and keep it in your kitchen!
mollie says
I love your site. The recipes are delicious. Thank you.
Dawn Collins says
Is that net carbs and do they freeze
Libby www.ditchthecarbs.com says
No all my nutrition panels are total carbs as some people count total or net so I leave it up to them. These are guides only as the brands of cheese, milk etc you use can vary considerably in carb counts so if you want an accurate count, use MyFitnessPal and enter the brands you used.
