Instant Pot Spinach Bacon Crustless Quiche

Quiche is a dish that goes back several decades. Normally it is made like a pie, with a crust and baked in the oven.

If you are trying to eat low carb, or are gluten-free, this is a great recipe for you because I have eliminated the crust. You don’t need it.

Making a quiche in your Instant Pot® is really easy, and I will show you how.

Pan-In-Pot

This Instant Pot quiche recipe is made using the pan-in-pot, or PIP method (also called pot-in-pot).

This is when you put the ingredients into a pan that fits in the pressure cooker pot. Then cooked with the pan in the pot (get it?) 🙂

You do still need water inside the inner liner pot, and a trivet/rack to set the pan on as it should never touch the bottom of the pot.

Then you will use the handles of the trivet to get the pan back out of the pot.

Use this method of pressure cooking when the ingredients are too thick to bring the pot to pressure, and there is a risk of them burning in the inner liner pot.

Here are the simple steps to make Instant Pot Spinach Bacon Crustless Quiche:

Pressure cook the quiche and then do a quick release of the pressure.

There may be a little water on the quiche when you open the lid, which is normal. Just dab it off with a paper towel.

You can change up the flavors by what you add to the egg mixture. Some tasty combinations are:
• Spinach, mushroom, swiss
• Ham, cheddar cheese
• Broccoli, cheddar
• Caramelized onions, bacon, cheddar cheese
• Salsa, bell pepper, Mexican cheese blend

Instant Pot Spinach Bacon Crustless Quiche is an easy to make recipe. This is a versatile recipe that you can make your own with simple ingredient swaps.

Course: Breakfast, Brunch
Cuisine: American
Keyword: instant pot crustless quiche recipe, pressure cooker crustless quiche
Servings: 6
Calories: 275 kcal
Author: Sandy Clifton
Ingredients
  • 6 lg Eggs
  • 1 cup Half and Half
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder*
  • 8 slices Cooked Thick Cut Bacon, chopped (or cooked ham, diced)
  • 1 cup Frozen Chopped Spinach, thawed and water squeezed out
  • 1 cup Swiss Cheese, shredded (or your favorite cheese)
Instructions
  1. Spray a 7" diameter metal pan (such as a cake pan) with cooking spray. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water into the inner liner pot of the pressure cooker.

  2. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them.

  3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.

  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan (leave it uncovered).

  5. Set the pan on the trivet and carefully lower it into the pot.

  6. Close the lid of the pressure cooker and seal the vent.

  7. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 25 minutes. High Pressure. The pot will take a few minutes to come to pressure.

  8. When the cook cycle has finished, turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to Quick Release the steam/pressure.

  9. When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid.

  10. Make sure the center of the quiche is set before removing from the pot. If it is jiggly, just close the lid and let it sit a few minutes to cook a little more in the residual heat.

  11. Use silicone or other oven mitts to carefully remove the trivet and pan from the pot.

  12. There may be a small amount of liquid visible on the quiche. That is normal. Just use a paper towel to absorb it, or very carefully drain it.

  13. Invert onto a plate (very carefully, using a kitchen towel or something that will protect your hands from the heat).

  14. Slice and serve.

Recipe Notes

*You can sauté 1/2 an onion in some butter until soft. Then add the cooled onion to the eggs.

      6 qt. You can use the 3 qt, but you will need a 6″ diameter pan. Increase the cook time by about 5 minutes to compensate.

      Yes, just chop it up a bit and discard the larger stem pieces.

    Can I half the recipe? If so, will I cook it for less time? Do I need such a deep cake pan or will a not so deep one work as long as I half the recipe? Thank you!

      If you halve the recipe, try to use a smaller diameter pan. I use a 7″ so a 6″ or a little smaller will keep the quiche from being too thin. You will need to adjust the cook time, but I haven’t tested this so I don’t know how much. Maybe try 15 minutes.

      Sure. Cook time may vary a little, I’m not sure as I haven’t tried this recipe in one of those pans.

    Hi Sandy,

    I’m all set to make the crustless quiche. Just 1 little question. When you say, “Prepare the pan” do you mean to spray it with something like Pam which I usually do?

      Yes, sorry if I wasn’t clear on that!
