Crustless Quiche
Yield: 4 servings
This easy Crustless Quiche recipe is flavorful and simple. Packed with protein from eggs, ham, and cheese, it's perfect for breakfast and brunch, as well as dinner.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives, divided, +2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top
- 1 cup shredded mild or medium cheddar cheese, divided, +2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top
- 1 cup small-diced (¼" pieces) cooked ham, divided, +2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly spray a 9" pie plate with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt, black pepper, and Dijon just until evenly combined.
- Scatter 1 tablespoon of the chives evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Then add ½ cup shredded cheese, followed by ½ cup ham. Repeat this layering, scattering 1 tablespoon chives, followed by ½ cup cheese and then ½ cup ham. This method keeps the lighter ingredients from floating to the top of the dish.
- Slowly and evenly drizzle the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons cheese over the top, followed by a bit more ham, and then a bit more chives.
- Place pan in center of oven. For a softer set, bake 35 minutes, until golden on top and center is set. For a bit firmer set, bake 40 minutes. My family prefers the 40-minute cook time, plus this offers cleaner slices. The outer portion of the quiche will puff up while baking, then deflate as it cools.
- Remove from oven and let rest (and deflate) for 5 minutes. Cut into individual portions and enjoy hot.
