Crustless Quiche

Pie plate containing a crustless quiche

This recipe serves 2.

Loraine and I came across a recipe for a crustless quiche and with a few modifications we created a meal that was easy to make, extremely tasty, nourishing, healthy and the leftovers reheated as if they had just come out of the oven. What more could one ask for?

This recipe is perfect for leftover veggies, although that seldom happens in this household. So, if you have some left over leeks, cauliflower, green beans, corn, etc. don't hesitate to be creative. There is also no reason you couldn't substitute bacon or pancetta for the ham.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 390°F
  2. In a large bowl thoroughly mix the flour, baking powder and salt together, set aside.
  3. Sauté the onions in the butter for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5 more minutes.
  5. Apply a very thin layer of oil to a 9" pie plate.
  6. Place the sautéed onions and mushrooms evenly over the bottom of the pie plate.
  7. Place the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the onions and mushrooms.
  8. Then evenly place the ham, asparagus, broccoli florets and chopped spinach over the top of the cheese.
  9. In the bowl containing the blended flour, slowly whisk in the milk so that there are no lumps, whisk in the 4 beaten eggs, the mustard and some salt and pepper.
  10. Gently pour the flour, milk, egg mixture over the ingredients in the pie plate.
  11. Place the pie plate on a tray and place in the heated oven for 40 minutes.

We reheated slices of the quiche in the microwave on high for 30 seconds.
