Crustless Quiche

This Crustless Quiche is a simple and delicious for breakfast or a quick dinner. It also makes a great lunch all week long…is there anything this Crustless Quiche can not do!?

A perfect clean out your fridge recipe.  Great for left over ham, veggies, sausage or most anything you have on hand  that goes with eggs!

Do I have to use milk to make this Crustless Quiche?

• Nope.  Simply omit the dairy or substitute with your favorite milk alternative, like almond or soy.  NOTE: Careful not to over bake if omitting the milk/milk alternative as eggs can dry out quickly in the oven.

Whats the difference between a frittata and a crustless quiche?

• Not much!  A frittata is started in a skillet on the stove top and moved to the oven to finish cooking.  It’s simply a different way to prepare your eggs.

We like to add the cheese and fixins’ right into the scrambled egg mixture rather than scattering on the bottom and pouring the eggs over as you would a quiche with crust.  This keeps the cheese mixture from sticking to the bottom of your pan.

What are some suggested add-ins and how much should I use?

 1/2 cup cheese plus 1 cup of the following or a mixture of many!

• broccoli
• zucchini
• feta
• onion, all kinds
• bacon, cooked
• ham
• sausage – cooked
• fresh cut tomatoes
• fresh chives

Don’t forget the toppings!

• salsa
• sour cream
• guacomole

What do I serve with this Crustless Quiche?

• fresh fruit
• light green salad if serving for lunch or dinner
• potatoes – roasted, hash browned or any kind of potato!
• steamed veggies like broccoli or asparagus

How did you get that asparagus to stay on top of the quiche and not sink to the bottom?    It’s so fancy!

• Bake your quiche for 20 minutes and pull the oven rack out slightly.  CAREFUL IT’S HOT!  Lay your asparagus on the partially cooked quiche and continue to cook until done.
