RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

For the base quiche filling, you will need:

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 cup of your favorite vegetable(s) such as onion, bell pepper, spinach, potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
  • 1 cup of your choice of protein (such as cooked ham, beef, chicken, seafood, bacon, or sausage), diced/crumbled. Optional – substitute with more vegetables if desired
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Other seasonings as desired
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)

Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a pie dish by greasing it lightly with butter or oil.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the protein and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheese and the cooked vegetable and protein mixture.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden brown. You should be able to stick a butter knife into the middle (it should pull out clean) to check that the eggs are set and not still runny.

Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

This crustless quiche is perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, and can be enjoyed hot or cold. Add a slice of toasted sourdough (we offer Proof & Gather fresh baked sourdough!) and a side of fruit for the perfect meal. Feel free to customize the fillings to your liking, making each quiche a unique and delicious creation!
