There are 336 calories in each portion of our slimming friendly Crustless Quiche Lorraine which means it falls into our Everyday Light recipe category.
This quiche is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet, and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Chop the bacon into thin strips and dice the onion finely.
Step 2
Spray a frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and, on a moderate heat, cook the bacon strips and diced onion until the bacon has coloured and the onion is soft. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Place the eggs into a large bowl and whisk. Add the quark and continue to whisk until the quark is fully combined – there should be no lumps at all. Season well with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Stir in half of the cheese and the bacon/onion mix. Spray a 24cm flan dish with low calorie cooking spray and pour in the egg mixture. Make sure that there is an even distribution of bacon and onion.
Step 5
Top with the remaining cheese and cook for 20 minutes until golden. If using a dish with a smaller diameter (therefore resulting in a deeper quiche) then it may need an extra 5-6 minutes in the oven.
Step 6
Serve hot or cold with your choice of accompaniment.

Can I use low fat crème fraiche instead of quark?

Hi Lynne, yes, you could use low-fat creme fraiche instead of quark if you prefer. Enjoy the recipe!
Nic DanielsSunday 29th January 2023
What can I substitute quark with. I’m on me to but don’t really like quark.
HollyTuesday 31st January 2023
Hey Nic, you could swap the quark for cottage cheese, just whizz the cottage cheese up in a food processor until smooth before adding to the quiche, hope that helps!
SamMonday 12th February 2024
