You’ll need a Pyrex flan dish like this one for a lovely round quiche.
You can whisk the mixture with a fork, or a proper whisk to speed things up a little. They’re available in supermarkets or online.
How many calories are in this Crustless Quiche Lorraine?
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.
What should you should serve with this Crustless Quiche Lorraine?
You can serve this dish hot or cold and it really works well with loads of different accompaniments. You could even pop into into lunch boxes for a quick picnic lunch!
Whatever accompaniment you choose, don’t forget to account for the extra calories and/or other nutritional values.
How do you know when this Crustless Quiche Lorraine is cooked?
You should cook this quiche until the top is turning golden, and the egg has just set in the centre – it may have a slight wobble.
This should take approx 20 minutes in the oven. Times will vary if you’re using a deeper pie dish for example.
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep Crustless Quiche Lorraine in the fridge?
Once you’ve cooked it, ideally you should eat it within 4 hours.
If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers of Crustless Quiche Lorraine in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.
Can I freeze Crustless Quiche Lorraine?
Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following;
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
- Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!
How do I reheat Crustless Quiche Lorraine?
From chilled: Place in a microwave proof container with loosely fitting lid and heat for 4-7 minutes until piping hot.
From frozen: Allow to defrost, and heat covered in the microwave for 3-5 minutes, let it stand for 2 minutes and microwave for a further 3 minutes.

Can I replace the low fat cheddar with low fat mozzarella? Just want to use what I have in my fridge
HollyWednesday 1st July 2020
Hi Chloe, it’s not something we have tried but it should work fine you will have to alter the calories accordingly though. Hope that helps!
Tracy MedforthWednesday 10th June 2020
Tracy
Absolutely love my quiches and absolutely loved this one, easy to make really enjoyed making and eating it definitely going to make it again.
SharonThursday 11th June 2020
Hi Tracy, we’re so pleased to hear that you loved this recipe, thanks for letting us know!
LaurenFriday 22nd May 2020
Hi I was just about to make this for lunch and realised I haven’t got any quark in, could I substitute this for Greek yoghurt??
Many thanks x
Sharon FitzpatrickFriday 22nd May 2020
Hi Lauren , we haven’t tried this ourselves but we think it should work. Let us know how it goes!
JoSunday 17th May 2020
Hi, could I use low fat or normal cream cheese instead of quark and reduce the quantity of cheddar to get a less cheesy taste to suit our fam? Looking for a really mild taste.
LisaMonday 18th May 2020
Hi Jo. Yes you could! You could even replace the quark with half fat creme fraiche although that would change the nutritional values, if they are important to you. Hope you enjoy the recipe
WizzooSunday 26th April 2020
Made the crustless quiche,it didnt rise very much but tasted delicious.
Steve CowderoyWednesday 13th May 2020
Hi Wizzoo, so pleased to hear that you enjoyed this quiche. Thanks for letting us know.
Natalie HillMonday 20th April 2020
Is there anything I can use instead of quark please ??
LisaWednesday 13th May 2020
Hi Natalie. You could use some half fat creme fraice, or if you want to keep the calories low, blitz up some cottage cheese in a food processor until it is smooth. Hope this helps.
BarbaraSunday 15th March 2020
Could I substitute the quark with Philadelphia light and get a good result do you think?
Steve CowderoyWednesday 6th May 2020
Hi Barbara, thanks for getting in touch with us, you can use Philadelphia light and still get the same results. Please let us know how you get on.
Mary GeoghanWednesday 5th February 2020
Hi, can I omit the quark as I can’t eat it
LisaWednesday 13th May 2020
Hi Mary. We usually suggest low fat creme fraiche or cottage cheese that has been blitzed until smooth. If you can’t eat dairy, there are some dairy free creme fraiche substitutes available, but this would obviously change the nutritional values of the quiche.
LianneSunday 2nd February 2020
What can I use instead of quark?
LisaWednesday 13th May 2020
Hi Leanne. You could use some half fat creme fraice, or if you want to keep the calories low, blitz up some cottage cheese in a food processor until it is smooth. Hope this helps.

DebMWednesday 1st May 2019
Ah I see, I did wonder and was sure that is was right but didn’t calculate it in to individual portions .
Thanks for replying and clarifying ????????????
DebMMonday 15th April 2019
Hi 🙂
Love love love this recipe, quick, easy and my “go to” for snacking..
Could I just check the HEA cheese..recipe says 160g reduced fat cheddar but in SW book 40g reduced fat cheddar equals 1 HEA? Xx
VickyMonday 28th January 2019
I made this yesterday, to say I am a fan is an understatement. Tastes lovely.
Could I add pepper, mushrooms and a cup of peas.
Thank you
DonnaSaturday 19th January 2019
I can’t seem to find the actual ingredient amounts? Can you list them please?
Clare TurnerSaturday 19th January 2019
Hello, I live in Hong Kong and cannot get a hold of quark or even fromage frais. What other dairy products could i use as substitute? Thanks
KateMonday 17th December 2018
This is amazing. Such a nicer lunch than just salad.
SamSunday 11th November 2018
This was absolutely delicious! If I prep all the ingredients (cooked onion and bacon, whisked egg and grated cheese) do you tho k it would be ok in the fridge for a day or two so I could just pour into a dish, add the extra cheese and bake? I have a baby so I try to prep as much of the next day’s meals as I can after she’s gone to bed.
Sarah EvansSunday 30th September 2018
How long would this last in the fridge?
NickySaturday 22nd September 2018
Could you freeze it?
Anna BakerTuesday 14th August 2018
Can I make this without quark
Helen WilsonSunday 12th August 2018
Just made this with my daughter…actually think it may have been the best quiche I have EVER eaten ,,,added a little Schwartz all season spicy chillies & onion – it is sooooo gorgeous – thank you for such a fab recipe … I love using quark and didn’t have any cottage cheese which my usual recipe uses. Definitely need to include this in a recipe book if you do one 🙂
Sandra GreenSaturday 7th July 2018
Wow this was just as amazing as the first time I made it. So tasty even my husband wants to take some on our Picnic tomorrow ,( if there is any left) , so easy and quick to do..

AnnetteFriday 15th June 2018

KerryWednesday 25th April 2018
