CRUSTLESS EGG AND CHEESE QUICHE
If you love quiche, get to know this crustless version, dotted with cheese, mushrooms and herbs (and no fussy pastry to chill or roll). Once you master the perfect dairy-to-egg ratio, you'll find this recipe to be as much of an ally to the Friday fridge clean-out as it is to a brunch for friends. Pay close attention to the baking time: The center should be a touch wiggly when you remove the quiche from the oven. The end result is a quivering, spoonable custard that melts in your mouth, to be served with a bracing salad. Crisp greens with mustardy vinaigrette, or a citrus laced endive and radicchio number - anything in that vein will do.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees with the rack positioned at the top. Butter a deep 8-inch round, square or oval casserole generously and sprinkle all over with bread crumbs.
- Heat the 2 tablespoons butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. When melted and foamy, add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes. Scatter the cooked mushrooms and grated cheese over the bread crumbs.
- Whisk together the half-and-half, whole milk, eggs, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour the mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan, and bake until the top is golden and the custard is just set in the center, about 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside 5 to 10 minutes to cool before serving. Sprinkle with chives, cut into wedges or scoop out, and serve.

EASY CRUSTLESS QUICHE
Yet another crustless quiche that is designed for a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet. It is very rich and cheesy. The Parmesan and butter on the bottom form a nice skin on the bottom that really helps. The egg and cream mixture is quite flexible and the ratio of egg to cream and the heaviness of the cream is a personal choice. The cheese can easily be replaced with any hard cheese that holds up well when shredded such as Swiss, Cheddar, Gouda, or Provolone. The meats can be replaced with anything that isn't too wet; whether it is meat or vegetable.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your quiche a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.
- Don't overcook the eggs. The eggs should be set, but still slightly runny in the center. This will give your quiche a creamy texture.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in a quiche, so it's important to use a cheese that you enjoy. Some good options include cheddar, Swiss, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Crustless quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a crustless quiche that is sure to impress your friends and family.
