Low Carb Recipe: Bacon Cheeseburger Quiche

Posted by Rishara Sunday, January 24, 2010

This is a variation on the quiche I made last week  It's a little bit heartier and more of a lunch quiche than breakfast quiche.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Quiche

4 slices bacon
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb hamburger
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
salt & pepper to taste

1) Preheat oven to 425.  Spray down a 9 inch deep dish pie pan with non-stick spray and place on a cookie sheet.
2) Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry in a pan until crispy.  Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
3) Fry the onions and hamburger in the bacon grease until the burger is brown.  Use any seasonings you desire to season the meat as it's cooking.  I just used basic salt & pepper.
4) Add bacon bits back to the hamburger mixture then layer on the bottom of the pie pan.
5) Beat eggs, cream, and salt & pepper (just a pinch of each) together in a bowl.
7) Stir cheese into the egg mixture.
8) Pour egg mixture over the hamburger mixture in the pie pan.
9) Transfer cookie sheet with the pie pan onto the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.  You want the middle of the quiche to be just firm, so that it still jiggles slightly.
10) Cut into 8 wedges and enjoy.

I haven't calculated the nutrition counts yet, but it's definitely low enough in carbs to be safe for induction.  I ate mine with a little bit of reduced sugar catsup.
