Growing up, one of my favorite supper was quiche. I loved it so much, I usually requested it for my birthday meal! It seems I passed down my quiche-loving gene to our oldest son, because it’s his favorite meal, too! I finally took the time to turn my favorite quiche recipe into a Trim Healthy Mama-friendly version. This Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche is a gluten-free, low-carb, keto compatible, high-protein THM S!
The recipe I grew up with used a Tenderflake crust and called for all-purpose flour and milk in the filling. We usually made it with mushrooms too, but I’m the only one who likes them in our family, so I left them out of this version. You could always add them to this recipe by frying them up with the onions.
To create a flakier, savory crust, I took my well-loved almond flour crust and substituted Parmesan cheese for part of the almond flour. I also added an egg as a binder and to make it more flaky. Pre-baking the crust is important to keeping it from getting soggy.
The filling in this Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche is also made without any special ingredients:
- butter
- onions
- eggs
- heavy cream
- broccoli florets
- bacon crumbles
- cheddar cheese
- mineral salt
- ground pepper
If you’d like, you can even skip making the crust to speed up the process and enjoy a crust-less quiche (a frittata!) by baking the filling by itself in a well-oiled pie plate. You may need to decrease your baking time slightly without the crust.
Either way, this one’s sure to be a hit with the family!
This delicious low-carb Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche is fantastic for breakfast, lunch, or supper! Gluten-free, keto, and Trim Healthy Mama S friendly. Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Quiche | THM: S

If this is for dinner, what else do you serve with it?
I usually serve it by itself, but it’s also nice paired with soup (like my Mom’s Tomato Spice soup!).
Sounds yummy…can I get the recipe for the tomato spice soup:))
this was delicious thanks for the recipe !
Jacinda – This quiche is wonderful! I used gruyere instead of cheddar because I had it and love the flavor. Mine looks just like yours and tastes sooo good. The crust is perfect! Wonderful for Easter breakfast with a little fruit. Thank you for another great recipe.
What are the macros on this recipe I didn’t see them?
Thank you for this recipe. I made it last night and it was delicious. My husband and daughter loved it. I think next time I’ll make two and freeze one. So very good though. Thank you!
I’d love to know macros for this quiche dish, as I’m following Keto. Thank you. 🙂
Can you freeze this?
I am following keto WOE…what are the macros, want to make this! TIA
This looks and sounds amazing! I love quiche! What would a serving size be? Thank you!
Can I use egg substitute in place of the whole eggs? If so, how much?
