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.

Hi, if you alter the ingredients to serve less people, do you need to use a smaller dish, or would the quiche just be a lot thinner?🤔
HollyTuesday 19th April 2022
Hey Mo, if altering the servings the quiche would be thinner and as a result would cook quicker so it would probably be best to reduce the size of the dish. Hope that helps!
Sue MorrisSunday 22nd August 2021
Wow this is so yummy just made it and only 2 points on blue ww xx thank you ladies losing a pound every week. From 14 st 8 to 13 00 in 5 months xx
HollyTuesday 31st August 2021
Hey Sue, thanks so much for your message well done on all of your achievements you have done so great well done!
Emma FernieMonday 10th May 2021
Hi,If I make the quiche tonight,would it then be ok to chill in the fridge and have tomorrow night?
HollyMonday 10th May 2021
Hey Emma, yes you can chill this quiche and it’s great eaten cold! Hope that helps!
LisaThursday 6th May 2021
Is it possible to do this without the quark and cheese? Due to stomach conditions cheese is a no go but I really want to make this!
HollyTuesday 18th May 2021
Hey Lisa, you could swap the quark for some fat free Greek or natural yoghurt and it will still work fine, hope that helps!
KarenSunday 13th June 2021
Hi how much Natural yogurt would you use instead of quark? Thanks
HollyMonday 14th June 2021
Hey Karen, it’s a like for like swap so it will be 4tbsp fat free natural yoghurt. If you are calorie counting be sure to alter the calories accordingly, hope that helps!
Paula DolanWednesday 21st April 2021
Only have a 30cm dish would that be too big
HollyThursday 22nd April 2021
Hey Paula, a 30cm dish would be fine for the Crustless Quiche Lorraine, hope that helps!
Jo73Saturday 27th March 2021
I love this quiche, it cooks really well every time and is delicious. Having joined WW and checking the recipe by adding it to the app the points are much higher than listed. Using reduced fat cheddar 30% the points on purple come out as 5 per portion. Using 50% fat cheddar the points comes out as 4 per portion. Please can you update. Thank you
HollyWednesday 31st March 2021
Hey Jo, I’ve just double checked this recipe and the points are correct on the recipe page we have used 30% reduced fat Cheddar cheese. Have a look at THIS article on how we work out the nutritional values for our recipes, hope that helps!
Sue YandleThursday 25th February 2021
Each portion of your crust less quiche is said to be is 326 calories but what size is that portion please?
HollyThursday 25th February 2021
Hey Sue, the Crustless Quiche Lorraine serves 4 so it’s equally split into 4 pieces. If you scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page on the website there is a little arrow by servings and you can alter up or down to serve more or less people. Hope that helps!
MaryTuesday 8th December 2020
Can I use cottage cheese instead of quark?
HollyTuesday 15th December 2020
Hi Mary, I’m not sure cottage cheese would work in this Crustless Quiche Lorraine as when the quark is mixed with the egg you want it free of lumps and smooth. I would suggest substituting the quark for low-fat cream cheese or ricotta and alter the calories accordingly using our guide HERE hope that helps!
CharlieSaturday 31st October 2020
Could you use sliced ham instead of bacon?
HollyMonday 2nd November 2020
Hey Charlie, yes sliced ham would work fine instead of the bacon. Hope that helps!
KimboTuesday 13th October 2020
Could I split this into 8 cup cake sized baking portions so that I dont have to cut it up later? Super crispy edges then, but obv I know I’ll need to adjust the cooking times!!
HollyWednesday 14th October 2020
Hey Kimbo, Yes you could separate the mixture and cook in a baking tray like we do in our Breakfast Muffins Hope that helps!
Joanne EastonThursday 13th August 2020
Made this today, and was very flavoursome, I didn’t add the bacon as wanted just onion quiche so I cooked 3 red onions. I will definitely use this recipe again and try mushroom next time
Thank you x
HollyThursday 13th August 2020
Hi Joanne, so glad you enjoyed the Crustless Quiche Lorraine and your swaps sound great!
RhiannonFriday 7th August 2020
I absolutely adore this recipe but cannot for the life of me work out why my quiche takes over an hour to cook properly ? I use a 7inch tin but even after 45 minutes it all liquids still ? still an amazingly delicious meal and well worth the wait ?
LisaFriday 7th August 2020
Hi Rhiannon
Our timing are based on using a 24cm tin, which is about 10 inches, so that may be why! Glad you love the recipe though.
AnneMonday 10th August 2020
Could this be cooked in a sandwich pan
LisaWednesday 12th August 2020
Hi Anne
You can cook this in any oven proof container or tin, but our timings are based on a 24cm round tin. You may need to adjust the timings if you use a different size. Don’t use a loose bottomed tin as the egg will leak out. Hope this helps
JulieMonday 20th July 2020
Hi, I was just wondering if vegetarian bacon would work as well? I know it isnt cooked for long, so would it be better to defrost it and let it cook in the oven?
HollyMonday 27th July 2020
Hi Julie, we haven’t tried using vegetarian bacon but I’m sure it would work just fine. I would suggest in step 2 cooking the onions until they are just soft then add in the bacon and fry until just coloured then follow the rest of the steps the same. Hope that helps and let us know how you get on.
Kristin RaeMonday 6th July 2020
I’m in the US, what can I substitute for the quark? We don’t have that here 🙁
HollyTuesday 7th July 2020
Hi Kristen, you could swap the quark for low calorie cream cheese. Hope that helps!
