What do you put in crustless quiches?

I just add the ingredients that I would use in an omlet… so whatever is in my fridge, really… and then throw them in some muffin tins. You have to spray the muffin tins. Also, any vegetables or meat you want to actually be cooked, you need to precook, and then put in your scrambled eggs (once cooled, because you will cook the egg, and it would be all weird and gross). Cook at 350 for about 15-20 min. Pretty easy actually. Just don't be like me and forget they're in the oven… man… that was a rough day...

I just made one with ground buffalo, bacon, asparagus and onion, turned out pretty good

I got this on My Fitness Pal. I love it.. I like spinach and all the ingredients in it.


Spinach and Mushroom Quiche
Ingredients:
For cooking in a pan:
2 Tbsp oil
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups chopped mushrooms
3 cups chopped spinach
Red pepper ftakes
Salt
Pepper
For the custard:
4 eggs (could use egg substitute)
1/2 cup milk (I used 2 %)
2 wedges of The Laughing Cow cheese
Salt and pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with some oil.
Heat oil in a large skillet, over medium heat
Add the onion and garlic, followed by the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Next, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until all the liquid released evaporates.
Add spinach and cook, stirring, just until spinach wilts. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper until smooth. Stir in the cheese. Spread the vegetable mixture in an even layer in the pie dish. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture.
Bake at 375 F for about 35 minutes, until the quiche is slightly puffed and golden brown on top.
I initially cut into 8 slices, but after looking at the size and also the nutrition I've been eating a 1/4 of the pie.

Goat cheese and spinach is good--I add a little sauteed onion. I also have made them with turley sausage crumbles,habenero jack amd spinach.

I usually make a 2,2,2 quiche: 2 eggs, 2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons flour, then add whatever else you want.

I've also made a crust for quiche out of polenta which was yummy.

Oooh...Good idea. Polenta crust sounds tasty!

Bump for later..and...

If you want a "crust" i recently saw someone shredding spaghetti squash and pressing it with egg whites into a pie-pan, baking it until crispy and filling it with quiche filling. It was gorgeous, healthy and with sage, bacon (or turkey sausage if you abstain from pork), sharp cheddar and more egg-whites than egg, it sounded out of this world.

great idea. Great flavors

Crustless quiche = frittata. Yum.

I use lots of eggs and a splash of milk, the same way I'd make scrambled eggs. Sometimes I'll make a frittata with 4 whole eggs, a little milk and 1/2 carton of egg whites.

My favorite is to sautee a mixture of veggies - onion, peppers, broccoli and mushrooms, pour the eggs into the pan and put it all in the oven. The veggies and pan are already hot, so it bakes up in about 10 minutes (350, broil at the end if you want a crisp top.)

Just made one last night actually. Here's the scoop:

4 large eggs (I used 2 and a 1/2 cup of eggs substitute)
1 cup non-fat or low fat milk
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (it sinks to the bottom and makes a very thin light "crust". It's interesting)
1 T olive oil
1 T chopped garlic
2 cups broccoli (can be frozen)
1/2 t salt (i omitted)
fresh ground pepper
1 t oregano
1 chopped onion
paprika
1/2 c 2% shredded cheddar cheese (I use Kraft)

Preheat oven to 350 and spray 9x9 baking dish.
Put the olive oil, garlic and onion in a pan and cook until softened. If your broccoli is frozen place in pan as well and cook until thawed and a bit soft. If not, add fresh broccoli after onion is soft and cook broccoli until soft. I added a cup of chopped zucchini as well. Place warmed vegetables in a glass baking dish.
Mix eggs, milk, seasonings and flour until combined. Pour mixture over veggies in dish and top with a sprinkle of paprika. I also sprinkled some extra seasonings on top, I like a lot of flavor.
Bake for 35 minutes- when there is 7-8 mins left, sprinkle cheese on top and return to oven. Let cool for 10 mins before serving.
