Veggie-Packed Crustless Quiche
Prep time: 15 mins | Bake time: 25-30 mins | Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
The Base:
-
8 large eggs
-
1/2 cup milk (whole milk or heavy cream makes it richer)
-
1 cup shredded cheese (Mozzarella or Sharp Cheddar work best)
-
1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper
The Fillings (as seen in your photo):
-
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
-
1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
-
1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
-
1/2 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced
-
Optional: A pinch of garlic powder or dried oregano
Instructions
-
Prep the Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease two 9-inch round cake pans (like the ones in your photo) with butter or non-stick spray.
-
Sauté the Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions, peppers, and mushrooms for about 5 minutes until soft. Add the spinach at the very end just until it wilts.
Pro Tip: Sautéing first prevents the quiche from becoming watery!
-
Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
-
Assemble: Distribute the sautéed vegetables evenly across the bottom of the two pans. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the veggies. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
-
Bake: Place in the oven for 25–30 minutes. You’ll know they are done when the centers are set (not jiggly) and the edges are slightly golden brown.
-
Rest and Serve: Let them cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the eggs firm up so you get clean wedges.
Variations to Try
-
Add Protein: Crumbled bacon or diced ham would fit perfectly here.
-
Spice it up: Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the egg mix.
