Crustless Quiche
Crustless Quiche blends sautéed broccoli, onion, and garlic with a custard of eggs, milk, and cream, enriched by sharp cheddar cheese and savory cooked bacon. Baking in a pie pan until set and golden on top yields a satisfying, protein-rich dish with a tender, flavorful filling without the crust. It can be served warm or at room temperature for breakfast or brunch.
