Crustless Spinach Quiche with Ham
Report
A healthy twist to a traditional quiche with crust, this Crustless Spinach Quiche with Ham is packed with spinach, two cheeses and ham for that lighter breakfast touch. No rolling out pie crust for this one, it uses cheese for a crispy and tasty alternative and delivers BIG on flavor. Adapted from Cabot Creamery Cookbook.
