Crustless Quiche Lorraine
Bacon and Cheese Custard
Yes, with a tweak: request a crustless version. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for French food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A savory custard pie traditionally baked in a pastry crust, filled with smoky bacon lardons, Swiss cheese (like Gruyère), and a rich mixture of eggs and heavy cream. This keto-friendly version omits the high-carb crust.
Key ingredients
Eggs, heavy cream, bacon lardons, Gruyère or Emmental cheese, black pepper, nutmeg, salt. Onions are often included but can be minimized or omitted for lower carbs.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request a crustless version. Confirm no added flour or sugar in the custard mix. Ask for it to be served with a simple green salad with oil and vinegar dressing instead of any starchy sides.
Watch out for
The pastry crust is the primary carb. Onions are usually present, increasing carbs. Some restaurants might add flour to the custard for stability, or use pre-made mixes with added sugar.
