CRUSTLESS QUICHE

Steps:

• 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. Cut into big wedges. Enjoy warm.

CRUSTLESS QUICHE MASTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For the pan: Brush pan with the soft butter and sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly on top. Or for a Quick Crust, pulse bread into crumbs in a food processor. Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add bread crumbs and stir until evenly toasted, about 5 minutes. Evenly spread crumbs in a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan. Place pan on a baking sheet.
• Whisk the half-and-half, eggs and yolks in large glass measuring cup. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, cayenne or paprika to taste. Spread half the desired filling evenly in the pan, top with about half the cheese; repeat with remaining filling and cheese. Pour the custard over the fillings. Top with more herbs or cheese as desired.
• Bake until the quiche is just set in the center, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely on a rack before serving.

MINI CRUSTLESS QUICHES WITH MUSHROOMS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray the cavities of a 12-cup muffin tin with the cooking spray.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the chard and mushrooms and cook until the chard wilts and mushrooms release their moisture, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk the eggs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and a few dashes of hot sauce in a large bowl, preferably with a spout. Season with salt and pepper.
• Evenly divide the chard mixture between the muffin cups. Pour the egg mixture over the top and stir each cup with a fork to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan and bake until slightly golden and a toothpick or butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Loosen the mini crustless quiches from the muffin cups with a rubber spatula and transfer to a platter for serving.
