Low-Carb Cheesy Crustless Quiche Lorraine

Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions, white part preferred
• 1 1/2 cups grated Swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 1/4 tsp. Spike Seasoning, see notes
• 1/8 tsp. Cayenne Pepper, optional
• 8 eggs
• 3/4 cup half and half
• 2 T diagonally sliced green onion for garnish, green part preferred

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350F/180C, and coat a 9-10 inch pie dish with nonstick spray.
2. Cook the bacon any way you like until it is very crisp. Drain off as much grease as possible with paper towels, then crumble it. If using Costco pre-cooked bacon, microwave it for 1 minute and blot away the fat.
3. Cut the green onions, and grate the cheeses if they are not already grated.
4. Add the bacon, green onions, Swiss cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese to the prepared pie dish in layers. Sprinkle with ground pepper, Spike Seasoning, and Cayenne Pepper.
5. Beat the eggs until the whites and yolks are fully blended, then whisk in the half and half.
6. Pour the egg mixture into the pie dish over the layered ingredients. Use a fork to carefully mix everything just enough to distribute it evenly.
7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the middle is set and the top is as browned as you like. The quiche will rise in the oven, then settle a bit as it cools into a dense, custardy texture.
8. Serve warm, with green onions over the top if desired.
9. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for several days, and warm them in the microwave.
