Who says that that quiche is only for breakfast. Treat the kids to a savory meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner with this crustless quiche recipe from the kitchen of Ryan Abney, a local wife, mother and small business owner of her own event planning company.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. fine bread crumbs
- 1 cup chopped onion or shallots
- 1 cup diced cooked ham or firm tofu (1/4 pound)
- 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 (8 ounce) packaged shredded Swiss Cheese or Mild Cheddar (2 cups)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 10-inch quiche dish or 10-inch glass pie pan
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, place the cooking rack in the middle.
- Butter quiche pan, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
- Cook onions with ham (or tofu) in butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 5 minutes. Spread in a quiche dish, then evenly sprinkle cheese on top.
- Whisk together eggs, cream, milk and 1/2 tsp. pepper and pour over cheese. Bake until the top is golden and the custard is set in center, 20-25 minutes.
