Avocado bacon crustless quiche is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Cheese, bacon, and avocado is an amazing combination!
I love to make different versions of quiche because it’s so quick and easy to prepare, especially when the quiche is crustless. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good flakey pie crust as much as the next girl. But, I don’t like the extra calories it adds as well as the extra time it takes to make it.
The base of this quiche is simply eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. That’s how I do all my quiche variations. Then, I just add whatever fun flavorings I have available.
Today I went with crumbled bacon, chopped avocado, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Let me tell you, that’s a winning combination! You could put those three things on anything and it would taste good. 🙂
I prepared the bacon for this quiche myself. This is how I did it.
Line a large baking sheet with foil and lay six slices of bacon on it. Bake it at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate and blot up as much of the grease as possible. Chop it into small pieces.
The bacon may not be as done as you like it after baking for 15 minutes, but it will continue cooking inside the quiche.
To make this dish even easier, you could use the packaged pre-cooked and crumbled bacon.

Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup 2% milk or your preferred milk/milk alternative
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

what is meant by “rotating” once half way through?
does that mean to stir or mix it half way through? turn the back end to the front half way through?
Amanda Finks says
Hi CMO. By “rotating” I mean turning the back of the dish toward the front, no stirring. This just ensures that the quiche bakes evenly.
Katy says
Could I mix and pour this in the baking dish before my guest arrive. Let it set in the fridge for an hour then pop it in the oven 30 minutes before we are ready to eat?
Bonnie says
What would the cooking times be if I did this in a large oval casserole dish and increased the recipe by another 1/2 to serve 9 people?
MaryEllen Ford says
Could you prep this casserole and cook the following morning? Worried the avocado will turn over night. Sounds delish!!

Just found your website when searching ‘crust-less quiche.” I printed out and prepared your recipe for the Avocado Bacon crust-less quiche and all I can say is perfection!! I’m trying to get my family to eat more healthy options for breakfast to get them through until lunch. I made this dish in advance and had it ready for Monday morning. It was a big hit even with my husband. I can see that it won’t last very long so it’s a good thing it’s easy and quick to prepare. Thanks so much…

What a great looking recipe! Just want to add that the precooked bacon has additives you prob do not want or need…check bacon available to you for the least amount of processed ingredients. Just better for you!
Jen says
This was great, thank you. Very easy to do and to adjust the ingredients. I used tomatoes, avocados, and candian bacon.
Rachel Jameson says
I made this this morning. I can’t wait to try it! It looks and smells delicious!
Hilary says
I made this last night, it’s not only foolproof (not such a talented chef over here) but sooo delicious! This will definitely be in the rotation!
Km says
Did anyone find that the avacado Tastes very bitter? 🙁
Betty says
Yes mine did too..and I investigated that avocados are not meant to be cooked.
I just put salsa on mine to cover it up.as I was not going to throw it out. I think I will put slices on top of mine instead.
Wendye says
I often add avocado to my scrambled eggs and it never taste better.
Dorraine says
I would not have added the avocado into the cooking mixture but instead used it as a topping just over the quiche as it is being served. Yummy recipe though!!
Theresa Weir says
how do you reheat indivdual slices in the microwave and for how long?
Kathleen says
I first cooked this recipe (for two) in two mini glass pie pans at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and they were perfect! I used diced avocado, some crumbled goat cheese, diced boars head pancetta bacon (pre-cooked) and scallions. Yum! What an elegant brunch for two! I have since made it with onions, cooked mushrooms, swiss cheese, some sauteed baby spinach and avocado again. There are endless combinations you can use and it is perfect for a brunch party, Thank you so much for this recipe! It is even better without the crust – don’t miss it at all!
Ashley says
New family favorite! Tried different ingredients to see how the flavor S would work out, but the original is still the best.
Patsy says
Do you think this could be frozen?
Em says
My new favorite recipe! WE loved it and it was so easy. You could add other ingredients but it was so delicious as it was. This is a keeper!
Melissa says
can you cook this in advance and warm up with the avocado baked into it?
Lisa says
Outstanding. Made it exactly per recipe. I may add some mushrooms next time.
Melissa says
Loved this! I am going to make it again next weekend.
cynthia j Kinkade says
what do you do to keep the avocdo from turning brown?
Anna Waterman says
oh my gosh! this was sooooo yummy and easy!! only thing I did different was I used sharp cheddar cheese. But any cheese would be great I am sure!
Cheri says
This is the best way I’ve found so far to eat an avocado!. I added onion flakes, and half sausage crumbles half bacon. And a little more cream and cheese.
Suzanne says
This is awesome! Especially for keto. I like to add a lot of vegetables too like zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus or spinach. I also like it topped with a keto avocado ranch dressing.
Alicia says
Perfect. So easy to make my husband made it! Definate make again.
