No-Crust Bacon and Leek Quiche

Last Friday I did not have the energy to make pastry crust, but I craved a quiche. So, I just skipped the crust, and it turned out great. The trick: use extra egg yolks to keep it together.


I didn't follow a recipe, and I can't quite remember all the amounts I used. However, I do remember the ingredients: Stone Cross Farm bacon (this bacon has spoiled me for all others), 2 leeks, swiss cheese (a good amount), salt, pepper, thyme, eggs (I think I used 2 whole eggs and 2 yolks), a pinch of nutmeg. The star--the bacon, of course!


(If you prefer using a recipe, try this one on Food Network, as it looks almost the same as what I did.)

As usual, it sounds amazing.

When you come back to Lexington, we'll have to get you started on Hillside Heritage Farm's bacon. It's got me spoiled!

Although, I would like to try some of that Stone Cross cheese. Where do you get it?

Thanks! And yes, I will have to try it. I don't think Stone Cross does cheese--I get my bacon there though, and it is delicious! Will have to compare with Hillside's. My one chef friend recommends Stone Cross, so that is why I've been buying there for a while. But I'm up for trying other bacon too!

I used your post for crustless quiche as my inspiration for supper last night. Thought this dish would be a good refueling for the half-marathoners. I made it completely in my All-Clad fry pan, baking it in oven to finish. Although note to self when serving - remember the handle is HOT - which I didn't and burned my palm. Thanks for keeping us all inspired in and out of the kitchen :)
