Can I make this quiche ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare it the night before and store it covered in the refrigerator. Add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if you're cooking it straight from the fridge. Alternatively, bake it ahead and reheat when ready to serve.

How do I prevent my avocado from browning in the quiche?

The beauty of this recipe is that once the avocado is mixed with the acidic components and baked quickly, browning isn't a major issue. For extra insurance, you can toss the chopped avocado with a little lemon juice before adding it to the egg mixture.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Definitely! While mozzarella offers a nice melt and mild flavor, sharp cheddar, Gruyère, or pepper jack would all be delicious alternatives. Use what you have or what you love.

Is this quiche keto-friendly?

Yes! This crustless quiche is naturally low in carbs and high in healthy fats from the avocado, eggs, and cheese, making it perfect for keto diets. Just ensure your bacon doesn't contain added sugars.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a standard pie plate by spraying it generously with cooking spray. This will prevent sticking and ensure your quiche comes out perfectly.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl (about 2.5 qt.), whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined. This will serve as the base for your quiche.
Add the Mix-ins
Gently incorporate the shredded mozzarella, crumbled bacon, and chopped avocado into the egg mixture. Stir carefully so the ingredients are evenly distributed without breaking up the avocado too much.
Pour and Arrange
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie plate. If needed, use a spoon to adjust the positioning of the avocado and bacon so they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Bake the Quiche
Place the pie plate in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Rotate it halfway through to ensure even cooking. The quiche should look set and slightly golden on top when done.
Cool and Slice
Allow the quiche to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps it set further and makes it easier to serve neat portions.

Notes

For an even creamier texture, you can substitute the 2% milk with heavy cream or a non-dairy alternative like almond milk.
To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon or microwave fully cooked bacon slices.
If you prefer richer flavors, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the egg mixture.
This quiche can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
