Crustless Quiche
Description
This recipe begins by lightly cooking chopped onion and broccoli with water until just softened, then adding minced garlic briefly for aromatic depth. Meanwhile, a mixture of eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper is whisked until smooth. The cooked vegetables are folded into this custard along with grated cheddar and chopped cooked bacon.
Poured into a greased 9-inch pie pan, the filling bakes at 375°F until the egg mixture is fully set and the top develops a light golden color. The quiche is allowed to cool slightly before serving, allowing it to firm up and making it easier to slice.
The resulting texture contrasts the tender cooked broccoli and onions with melted cheese and well-distributed bacon pieces, delivering savory richness without a pastry crust. Fresh chopped chives can be added for a mild onion flavor and visual appeal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion chopped
- 2 cups broccoli chopped, small florets
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 6 egg large
- 3/4 cup milk whole
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 4 lices Bacon chopped, cooked
- chives for garnish, optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add onion; cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli and water; cook, stirring, until the broccoli starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, salt and pepper.
- Fold in the broccoli mixture, shredded cheese, and chopped bacon. Spoon into the prepared pie pan.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh chives, if desired. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
