Quiche, a classic French dish, is a savory baked custard tart consisting of eggs, cream, and cheese, typically filled with vegetables, meats, or seafood. One unique variation of this dish is the self-crusting quiche, which eliminates the need for a traditional pastry crust. This remarkable quiche features a crust that magically forms during the baking process, resulting in a delectable and seamless combination of flavors and textures. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a novice in the kitchen, this article will guide you through the culinary journey of creating the perfect self-crusting quiche.

SELF CRUSTING QUICHE
This is my favourite quiche recipe mainly because it is very vesatile. I have made a number of variations using the basic egg mixture each time but with different filling. eg. subtituting canned asparagus,and,1/4 pint asparagus brine and 1/4 pint milk instead of 1/2 pint milk. The basic recipe I was given atleast 10 years ago - but I've improved on it over the years.
