Quiche Ingredients
- 16 slices Canadian bacon
- 8 oz brie cheese (rind removed and cut into cubes)
- 8 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Dish: Lightly grease a 9 1/2 to 10 inch pie dish, then arrange the Canadian bacon slices along the sides and bottom, creating a lined base for the quiche.
- Cube the Brie: Remove the rind from the brie cheese and cut it into small cubes to ensure even melting and distribution throughout the quiche.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten eggs, mayonnaise, pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning until well combined. Fold in the cubed brie cheese gently.
- Assemble the Quiche: Pour the egg and brie mixture into the prepared pie dish lined with Canadian bacon, spreading evenly.
- Bake: Place the pie dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the quiche is fully cooked.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the quiche to stand for 5 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the quiche set for easier serving and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Using mayonnaise in the egg mixture adds creaminess and helps keep the quiche moist without a crust.
- Removing the rind from the brie prevents an overly chewy texture and lets the cheese melt smoothly.
- Make sure not to overcook the quiche; baking until the knife comes out clean ensures it is set but still creamy.
- For a gluten-free option, confirm that the Canadian bacon and seasonings are gluten-free certified.
- This crustless quiche is great served warm or at room temperature and pairs well with a fresh salad.
