What’s for breakfast this weekend? I’ll be honest\u2014most of the time what I really want is something sweet and decadent<\/a>! But what I really need<\/em> is a protein-rich meal that will last me through the morning gauntlet to lunch time. This flavor-packed quiche fits the bill.<\/p>\n

It’s also a great choice for those on a gluten free and keto diets.<\/p>\n

Although this quiche does take 30 minutes to cook in the pressure cooker, it’s not hands-on time, and I didn’t have to worry about it burning in the oven if I left it unattended. In fact the second time I made it, I put it in the pressure cooker and went and took a shower.<\/p>\n

What Is a Quiche?<\/h2>\n

A quiche is a creamy eggy dish, often made with meat and vegetables and placed in a pie crust. A crustless quiche is similar to a frittata, but a quiche typically has more dairy than a fritata<\/a>. Traditionally, frittatas are cooked on a stove first. However, when you’re making them in the pressure cooker, they’re similar enough you could call it either name and be correct.<\/p>\n

I don’t like to make a traditional pie crust when making quiche in the pressure cooker. Pie crust is meant to be flaky and delicious, and the pressure cooker is just too moist to make crusts to my liking.<\/p>\n

(Did you know that quiche was quite popular in the 1970s<\/a>, but then in the 80s there was a bestseller called Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche<\/em><\/a> that convinced many to stop eating quiche? For the record, my husband says that real men do eat quiche when it’s this meaty and delicious!)<\/p>\n

Making Pressure Cooker Crustless Meat Lovers Quiche in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create this delicious Crustless Meat Lovers Quiche!<\/p>\n

When I make my Egg Muffins in the Pressure Cooker<\/a>, I like to add the meats and cheeses to the cups first, then pour the egg mixture over the top so the meats are evenly distributed. I did the same thing for my quiche, using a 1-quart souffl\u00e9 dish.<\/p>\n

Don’t have a 1-quart souffle dish?\u00a0<\/strong>No worries! You can use a 7-inch round cake pan<\/a> with no change to the cook time.<\/p>\n

How to Cook the Meats for Meat Lovers Quiche?<\/h2>\n

While this recipe calls for cooked sausage and bacon, if you don’t want to use the precooked meats you can cook the meat in the Instant Pot before you assemble the quiche. Just transfer them to a plate, wipe it out (no need to clean!), and start the recipe as outlined.<\/p>\n

How to Tell When Quiche Is Done?<\/h2>\n

Your pressure cooker quiche is cooked through if it appears completely set in the middle. If it jiggles or appears loose, it may need more time.<\/p>\n

Use an\u00a0instant-read thermometer<\/a> to verify your quiche is at least 160\u00b0F after cooking.<\/p>\n
