Delicious Cheeseburger Quiche - yes this really is all the great things about a Cheeseburger made into a delicious Slimming World friendly crustless quiche. If you make anything, make this!!
Cheeseburger Crustless Quiche
I had planned to make some cheeseburgers for dinner, but then I remembered I had some cottage cheese in my fridge that needed to be used up, which popped the idea into my head to make a cheeseburger quiche. I mean it just seemed like a genius idea, and it definitely was.
The preparation for this does take a bit of time, but it is so worth it. This quiche is absolutely delicious and perfect hot or cold, for lunch or dinner and even to take on picnics.
Yummy Layered Crustless Quiche
Layers of homemade burger, homemade sauce, sauteed onions, then topped with a delicious cheesy topping. What more could one want?
Got a busy week ahead? Make one of these and portion up for your lunch with a nice mixed salad. Perfect!!
The first part to this amazing cheeseburger quiche is the base, just some simple extra lean ground beef and sea salt are all you need. Once combined, I flatten down into a 24cm ceramic quiche dish like this on Amazon:
and then bake in the oven for 10 mins, this part is important, as the meat will naturally release its juices and this needs to be drained or dabbed off with some clean kitchen paper, before adding the other toppings.
Healthier Homemade Tomato Sauce
Once the burger base is in the oven, you can quickly get preparing the other toppings. Next is the tomato sauce (or what would be the popular ketchup on a Cheeseburger), but ketchup is synned and so here we make a quick cheats version with some crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce salt, pepper and a little sukrin: 1 (or another sweetener of choice, I prefer sukrin, because it's natural and has no aftertaste) just to tone down the acidity.
Then comes the lovely browned onions, I don't know about you, but I love onions on my burger.
Healthier Quiche Filling
Lastly is the cheesy egg topping. For this, you will need a blender. I use my Nutri Ninja Blender with Auto IQ to blend the eggs, cottage cheese and a little of the cheddar. This blender is amazing. The auto IQ technology feature, mean it blends to a set pattern depending on what it is you are making. There is also an optional add-on for a food processor bowl, which is perfect for chopping and grating vegetables. Sauces and soups are literally so smooth, once complete in this amazing kitchen gadget.

Don’t worry though, you don’t need a fancy high tech blender like mine above, a good old immersion stick blender like the Koölle Electric Powerful 3-in-1 800 Watt Hand Stick Blender or a similar make will do the job too.
But what if you dislike Cottage Cheese?
Many haters of cottage cheese are put off using it in a Slimming World quiche recipe. I dislike it as it comes out of the tub, I think it is those curds that put most off, but trust me when I say you won't know the quiche has it in the ingredients. Once blended, it is actually really creamy and perfect.
Once the egg mixture is done. We are all ready to layer up. Burger base, topped with the quick tomato sauce, then the onions, egg mixture and lastly cheddar. Because all cheeseburgers have to have cheddar.
Then just pop in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until it's all set and the cheese on top is melted and golden.

Sides for Cheeseburger Quiche
I just serve this Cheeseburger Quiche with a mixed salad, as it's pretty filling.
If you want to go that one step further, make up some big mac sauce, as in my Big Mac and Fries Fakeaway, to dollop on the side. It is seriously amazing!!!

That looks amazing!!!!
This looks really great and a "must try soon"! I notice you're using fat, albeit only a little, to fry the onions. Have you tried the Rosemary Conley method of dry frying onions? Works for mushrooms too and the flavour is much more intense. Once I'd tried it, I never looked back! Saves a few more calories as well...
Tomorrow's dinner sorted!
Hx
I made this today, it was wonderful!! Thank you very much. It's genius - hubby and son love it too :o)
Thanks for sharing delish !!!!!! 🙂
thanksfor sharing delish 🙂
theres no fat used... frylight is fat free...
Was really nice but when making again i will add more worcester sauce and perhaps some chilli flakes just to give the mince a bit more flavour
Have just made this and it is really lovely... thanks for posting 🙂 x
Fry Light most definitely is NOT fat free.
It is an emulsion of oil and other ingredients. It's just called 'Light' as it dispenses less oil than pouring/a regular spray would (0.5g of fat as opposed to a teaspoon or tablespoon, etc). That's why it's free on SW.
Consultants should really advise slimmers to not use too much of it where possible. For instance, Mary's comment on the Rosemary Conley method of frying onions would be much better.

This is AWESOME!!Make it. Amazing
Made this today with.a tweak as I have to eat cow milk free. Siobhan advised using all egg instead of cottage cheese, and I used goat cheese on the top.
I also added some Tabasco to the eggs as I thought they might be a bit bland for our taste.
It was delicious.
Thanks for the advice Siobhan and thanks for these recipes.
Could you freeze this
Made this today and it is amazing! Well worth making and hard to believe something this yummy is syn free after using the cheese as a healthy extra.
Thank you for all of the recipes you post, it definitely keeps me inspired.
Xx
I personally don't ever freeze my quiche recipes, as I am not sure how well the cottage cheese/egg would be once defrosted.
Very delicious I found it baked quicker than 30 mins, so keep an eye on it. But filling and syn free!
Made this for me and my kids yesterday and it was amazing. No complaints at all. Genius idea xxx
I wonder if this will work with Quark, instead of cottage cheese?
I should think so, you are blending the cottage cheese, which make it pretty close to quark. 🙂
Could you suggest substitute Cottage Cheese with a flavoured Quark?
Hi Kelly - yes quark will work fine as a replacement. I would pick a flavour that will compliment everything else if not using plain .
Tried this for dinner tonight. Love love loved it — Delicious!
Any chance of knowing the calorific value please?
Hi Sandra, if you look on the recipe box, all recipes have estimated nutritional information 🙂
Absolutely lush
Totally delicious .Kids would love this .
Made today absolutely delicious..couldn't see if this is suitable for freezing.. As I live alone
This cheeseburger quiche was fabulous. Will make again
