I will have to dig my recipe out but basically it is eggs, cheese and whatever else you want in it. I don't like swiss cheese so I use cheddar. I haven't made quiche in years. I used pre-made pie crusts for mine. How many are you looking to serve? If you have a lot of people an egg bake might be better.

well, not sure of head count, being Cast members will be coming in and out for work on black friday. I prefer something with NO crust. and I do like vermont cheddar myself. I also want it somewhat healthy. I do not eat meat, so I want something just shy of an omelet or scrambled eggs!
thanks!

Not sure you can make a quiche without a crust. Without a crust it is more like a frittata.


Not sure if it is awesome but I have a basic quick quiche recipe I use and add what ever I feel like at the time or what ever is on hand.


1 can Campbells Cheddar Cheese Soup
4 eggs
1 package kraft shredded cheese (what ever is your favorite)
1 deep dish pre made pie crust

salt and pepper to taste
nutmeg sprinkle on the top

cook at 350 until firm

You can add more eggs if you like. This recipe is all about personal taste and it's a simple easy recipe.

To the above you can add what ever you want like fresh spinach, onions(chopped and caramelized), mushrooms, bacon crumbles, ham, broccoli, just about anything you want.

For a larger quiche-you could use a square throw away pan and premade roll out pie crust and line the pan with the crust and double the recipe.

I have noticed that some things like bell peppers will make it a little watery if not sautéed first.

I have used this recipe for years and everyone raves about it.

PreparationPreheat oven to 350°F. and butter a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish (3-quart).

Trim asparagus and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-wide slices. Cut bell peppers into 1/4-inch-wide strips and mince shallots. Halve zucchini lengthwise and diagonally cut both zucchini and scallions into thin slices.

Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water blanch asparagus 1 minute and drain in a colander. Immediately transfer asparagus to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus well in colander and pat dry.

In a large skillet cook bell peppers and shallots in butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until peppers are softened, about 10 minutes. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, cream, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir in asparagus, bell pepper mixture, zucchini, and scallions. Pour custard into baking dish and bake in middle of oven until golden and set, about 35 minutes. Cool frittata on a rack. Frittata may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring frittata to room temperature before serving. If desired, loosen frittata from edges of pan and slide onto a platter.
