    Cheeseburger Quiche

    August 1, 2012 29 Comments

    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!!

    Slimming Eats Syn Free Cheeseburger Quiche - gluten free, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

    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.

    Slimming Eats Syn Free Cheeseburger Quiche - gluten free, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

    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!!!

      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...

      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

      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.

      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.

      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.

      I personally don't ever freeze my quiche recipes, as I am not sure how well the cottage cheese/egg would be once defrosted.

      August 29, 2017 at 9:10 am

      Very delicious I found it baked quicker than 30 mins, so keep an eye on it. But filling and syn free!

      I wonder if this will work with Quark, instead of cottage cheese?

    20. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      January 23, 2018 at 9:36 pm

      I should think so, you are blending the cottage cheese, which make it pretty close to quark. 🙂

    21. Kelly says

      March 06, 2018 at 1:05 pm

      Could you suggest substitute Cottage Cheese with a flavoured Quark?

    22. Shevy (Slimming Eats) says

      March 06, 2018 at 10:14 pm

      Hi Kelly - yes quark will work fine as a replacement. I would pick a flavour that will compliment everything else if not using plain .
