Want a really quick & easy, high protein breakfast or snack?
These simple crust-free quiches are easy to bake and serve, or grab on the go. Store them in the refrigerator for a few days, or serve them fresh out of the oven.
Feel free to substitute another source of protein for the turkey bacon. You can use any kind of diced veggies and protein sources, and feel free to add additional spices and herbs.
Crustless Mini Cheddar Quiches
I make the muffin pan paper inserts using square pieces of parchment paper, or you can use parchment muffin cups.These also freeze and reheat well. Just seal well before freezing them.To make these dairy free, replace the yogurt with dairy-free yogurt, or use about ¼ cup of dairy-free milk and 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or other cheese
- ½ cup yogurt
- 1 cup chopped turkey bacon (4 to 6 slices)

Thank you! You can replace the yogurt with dairy-free yogurt, or use about 1/4 cup of dairy-free milk and 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice.
