Ham and Asparagus Crustless Quiche Recipe
Description
This crustless quiche blends beaten eggs and milk with shredded cheddar cheese and diced ham to create a rich, savory base. Chopped asparagus is spread on top before baking, adding fresh vegetable texture and flavor. The recipe is baked in a sprayed pie plate until the center firms while retaining a moist custard consistency.
The quiche features the softness of baked eggs with pockets of melted cheese and bits of ham, balancing indulgence with green vegetable notes from asparagus. Its crustless nature reduces prep time and carbohydrate content.
Serve warm or at room temperature, making it a flexible dish for breakfast, brunch, or light dinners. Pairing it with a simple salad complements its flavors well.
Using thin asparagus provides better texture within the quiche. Cooling briefly before slicing helps achieve clean pieces and maintains structure.
