Crustless Bacon Cheddar Quiche

Ingredients:
  • Butter, for ramekins
  • Coarse salt
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 6 slices of cooked bacon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces)
Preheat oven 350 degrees

Butter four 8-ounce ramekins (or a 9-inch pie dish); set aside. Cook six slices of bacon.  Chop coarsely.  In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in bacon and cheese.

Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Ladle the egg mixture into ramekins, dividing evenly. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a mixed-green salad, if desired.

Yield: 4
