Bacon & Brussels Sprouts Quiche

(2)

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

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
