Bacon & Brussels Sprouts Quiche
This crustless quiche is perfect for brunch or dinner served with a green salad on the side. You can shred Brussels sprouts yourself with a sharp knife or look for pre-shredded sprouts with other prepared vegetables in your local grocery store. We love the smoky flavor of bacon, but pancetta is an easy substitute.
Ingredients
-
4 slices center-cut bacon, coarsely chopped
-
1 1/4 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
-
3/4 cup chopped scallions, plus more for garnish
-
7 large eggs
-
3/4 cup half-and-half
-
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
-
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish
-
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Description
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
- Place bacon in an unheated large nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Reserve 1 tablespoon drippings in the pan; discard remaining drippings.
- Add Brussels sprouts and scallions to the drippings in the pan; cook over medium heat, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits, until the vegetables are just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk eggs, half-and-half, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper together in a large bowl until there are no streaks of egg whites. Add the bacon, the Brussels sprouts mixture and Cheddar; stir until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan.
- Bake until the center is set and the edges are puffed and lightly golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Garnish with additional scallions and pepper, if desired.
