Crustless Quiche

It's been National Egg Week around this house. Sam's Club used to sell eggs in cartons of 18; now they come in two-packs of 18 eggs each. All you have to do, in a moment of dreamy abstraction, is forget what you already have and surprise! 80 eggs in the fridge. You'll have to compute nutritional info, based on what kind of cheese and ham or turkey you use. But the whole quiche is pretty carb low unless you go with some sort of virulently sugar-infected ham.
CRUSTLESS QUICHE
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES. USE A REGULAR PIE PAN, NOT A DEEP DISH. COAT LIGHTLY WITH COOKING SPRAY.
EVENLY DISTRIBUTE IN PAN:
6 ounces smoked ham or turkey
½ medium onion, finely chopped (two ounces)
WHISK TOGETHER:
4 large eggs or 3 eggs and ¼ cup egg white
½ cup Greek yogurt or heavy cream
tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley
FOLD IN:
3 ounces grated cheese, choose one of these or experiment with your own favorite:
Cheddar (add pinch of dried mustard)
Feta (add pinch of oregano or Greek seasoning mix)
Blue cheese
Pour mixture over ham and onion, smooth out with spatula.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.
Cool in pie pan on rack 15-20 minutes. Don’t rush this; it tastes better and cuts better if cooled.

I posted this SAUSAGE QUICHE recipe in a different thread. It's incredibly easy, delicious and freezes well:
SAUSAGE QUICHE
1 pound pork sausage, browned
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1 cup heavy cream
Put the sausage in the bottom of a large pie plate. Top with the cheese. Beat the eggs, salt and pepper, then beat in the cream. Slowly pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese. Bake at 350º for 35-45 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand about 10 minutes before cutting.
Makes 6-8 servings
Can be frozen

This is a family favorite. I make this whenever we have company and everyone seems to like it. It makes a great breakfast.
