Quiche (Crustless)
Ingredients
Scaled from 6 6 servings (approx. 1 generous slice each)
- 6 large eggs
- ⅔ 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 ½ cups mix-ins of choice: See below for suggestions and ingredient notes for a broccoli bacon version if you are a little under or over 1 1/2 cups, that’s OK
- ⅔ 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
Instructions
-
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.
