BASIC CRUSTLESS QUICHE



Basic Crustless Quiche image

This is my go to base for a quiche. I always do crustless. You can add really anything to this. We love sauteed veggies with onion and garlic with ham or tomatoes and bacon. If you cook the veggies, let them cool before adding to quiche mix because of the eggs. Spinach and ham is classic with added swiss. This is really great for when you have random veggies and leftover meat or deli meat in the fridge! Scale back the mozzarella to a 1/2 cup and put1/2 cup any other kind of cheese in, I use cheddar, swiss, provolone, parmesean frequently. I have also used cottage cheese with the ricotta.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
¼ cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
1 1/2 cups mix-ins of choice: See below for suggestions and ingredient notes for a broccoli bacon version
2/3 cup grated Gruyère cheese (or swap fontina, sharp cheddar, or smoked mozzarella)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Cooked (crumbled bacon)
Chopped and sautéed broccoli
Caramelized onions
Cubed leftover ham
Roasted vegetables (roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray.
  • Prepare any mix-ins (see recipe notes for a broccoli bacon version and the blog post above for more suggestions).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, pepper, mustard, and nutmeg.
  • Scatter the mix-ins evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top.
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture into the dish. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the chives over the top.
  • Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until the center is set, about 35 minutes. It should look puffed and golden at the edges, and when a thin, sharp knife is inserted in the center, the center should be cooked through without visible liquid. Let cool a few minutes. Cut into big wedges. Enjoy warm.
