Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For the pan: Brush pan with the soft butter and sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly on top. Or for a Quick Crust, pulse bread into crumbs in a food processor. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add bread crumbs and stir until evenly toasted, about 5 minutes. Evenly spread crumbs in a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan. Place pan on a baking sheet.
- Whisk the half-and-half, eggs and yolks in large glass measuring cup. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, cayenne or paprika to taste. Spread half the desired filling evenly in the pan, top with about half the cheese; repeat with remaining filling and cheese. Pour the custard over the fillings. Top with more herbs or cheese as desired.
- Bake until the quiche is just set in the center, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before serving.
CHEESY QUICHE LORRAINE
I LOVE this quiche. It's crustless. The texture is fabulous. You can vary this in many ways by changing the filling ingredients. This one is bacon and Gruyere. I sometimes add green onion and 1/4 c dijon mustard to this recipe. Or I'll go totally different and just add lots of diced and sauteed veggies and omit the bacon and cheese. I like to serve it with a small salad and a cluster of seedless grapes or some melon.

Steps:
- Cook chopped bacon in a heavy skillet with a little butter or olive oil until browned.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet to a glass or paper plate lined with a couple paper towels.
- Butter a 9" glass pie dish.
- Spread bacon and then the grated Gruyere in the pie plate.
- Whisk together the eggs, creme fraiche, salt, and pepper.
- Pour over the bacon and cheese, using a fork to gently distribute the bacon and cheese evenly.
- Bake the quiche in a water bath in a 350F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
- Note: A water bath is simply placing the dish to be cooked in a larger dish, then filling the larger dish with water to about 1" from the top of the smaller dish, then bake.
- I get the water ready to pour, place the uncooked quiche in the larger dish and then into the oven, and THEN pour the water in.
- Be very careful pulling this out of the oven.
- Move slowly so the hot water doesn't slosh about.
- Don't pull your oven rack out with the dish on it unless your rack moves very smoothly or the water will slosh.

Steps:
- Spray a shallow round ovenproof flan dish (aprox 25cm or 6-cup capacity) with oil. Pre-heat oven to 180C or moderate temperature.
- Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and add the onions and bacon. Cook, stirring until the onions are soft and transparent. Remove the mixture from the pan and spread it over the base of the prepared flan dish.
- Place eggs, cream, chives and cheese in a large bowl and whisk until all ingredients are combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste and pour over the onion mixture in the flan dish. Arrange the tomato slices over the top.
- Bake 40mins or until it is just set and golden.
- Cool for 5mins before garnishing with extra chives and serve. Also good to serve cold.
CRUSTLESS MINI QUICHE LORRAINE
My favorite comfort food on a low-carb diet is this quick and easy crustless quiche. I make them with and without spinach, and sometimes double the amount of bacon, as the mood strikes me. This is a crustless, low-carb version of quiche Lorraine that I developed when my family switched over to a LCHF diet. Not intended for low-fat diets!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 12-cup standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Spray a skillet with nonstick spray. Saute spinach over medium-low heat just until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Divide bacon among the muffin cups. Squeeze moisture out of the spinach and place on top of bacon. Sprinkle with chives, then top with equal portions of Swiss cheese.
- Blend eggs, cream, seasoning blend, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour mixture slowly into each cup, stopping just before it reaches the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving; it's normal for puffy quiche to settle and flatten.

CRUSTLESS 'QUICHE'
I suppose crustless quiche is a contradiction in terms, like seared ceviche. But if, like me, you sometimes crave what amounts to savory pie filling without the hassle of making an actual crust, this is the way to go. Once you take the crust out of the quiche you not only radically alter the concept but expand its possibilities. You can produce a "quiche" Lorraine by softening onions (lots) in butter or bacon fat, then adding eggs, cooked bacon and cream or half-and-half, and baking it all as you do in the recipe here.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and set rack in middle of it. Combine all ingredients except butter and beat until well blended.
- Pour into 4 to 6 buttered ramekins (or a buttered gratin or pie plate) and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until almost firm; it should still jiggle just a little in middle. Cool on a rack, then serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese.
- Don't overcook the eggs. The quiche should be just set in the center when you take it out of the oven.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.
- Serve the quiche with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
