Crustless quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is made with a simple mixture of eggs, cream, milk, and cheese, and can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, or seafood. Cauliflower is a particularly good choice for a crustless quiche filling, as it is low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. It also has a mild flavor that pairs well with other ingredients. The addition of herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano, can also add a delicious flavor to the quiche.

CAULIFLOWER QUICHE



Cauliflower Quiche image

This is a great quiche recipe - high in protein, which we need every day, especially as vegetarians. It is quick and relatively easy to make. All good cooks can adapt this recipe to their own requirements and availability of certain ingredients - but it tastes the best using the ones I have suggested here. If the ingredients are organic, they will be that much better.

CRUSTLESS QUICHE



Crustless Quiche image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
4 leeks, upper (dark) green part removed, split lengthwise, halved again lengthwise and cut into 2-inch strips. Wash and drain the strips carefully
Kosher salt
Freshly ground white pepper
8 eggs
8 ounces fresh goat cheese, cut into slices
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups milk
Hot sauce, few drops
Worcestershire, few drops
8 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 8 even slices, rind trimmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. When the butter starts to froth and brown slightly on the edges, shut off the heat and add the leeks. Turn the heat back to medium and season the leeks with salt and pepper. Stir to blend. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the leeks become only slightly tender. Transfer the leeks to a baking sheet and place the sheet in the refrigerator to cool.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs to break them up. Add the slices of goat cheese and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Use a whisk to break up the goat cheese and blend it with the eggs. When it is fairly smooth, whisk in the cream, milk, hot sauce and Worcestershire.
  • The test: It's a lot harder to check the seasoning of an uncooked quiche batter. If desired, heat a pan, add a touch of butter and cook a tiny bit of the batter for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning of batter, if needed.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of butter and fill with the cooled leeks and top with batter. Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. Open the oven door and gently layer the Brie slices on top of the quiche. Close the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the top is slightly brown and bubbly.

CRUSTLESS QUICHE WITH GREENS, HERBS, AND GOAT CHEESE



Crustless Quiche With Greens, Herbs, and Goat Cheese image

Easy and nutritious, this quiche is packed with protein, calcium, and iron. You can use any type of greens you like: swiss chard, kale, collards, mustard greens, spinach, etc. I like a mix of spinach and kale, two superfoods. Serve alone for a light dinner or for breakfast, or with a salad or raw veggies for lunch at work.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 large leek
2 cups chopped kale
1 cup chopped spinach
5 egg whites
4 whole eggs
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoons dried tarragon
1 1/4 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese

Steps:

  • Spray a 9-inch glass pie dish with non-stick spray and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the bottom and sides of the dish. Shake the dish around to distribute evenly.
  • Slice the white and light green parts of the leek 1/2 inch thick. Boil 4 cups of salted water and add leeks. Boil 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add spinach and kale. Set aside for 30 minutes for greens to wilt and soften. Drain, rinse with cold water, squeeze out the water, and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk egg whites until frothy and then whisk in the whole eggs. Whisk in milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, tarragon, and basil.
  • Scatter the greens mixture in the bottom of the pie plate over the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle on the goat cheese. Pour egg mixture over the greens and bake 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to save time and effort when preparing the cauliflower rice.
  • Be sure to press the cauliflower rice firmly into the pie plate to create a compact crust.
  • Don't overcook the quiche; it should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This crustless quiche with cauliflower and herbs is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional quiche. It's perfect for a quick and easy meal, and it's also a great way to sneak some extra vegetables into your diet. With its creamy filling and flavorful crust, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
