Low Carb Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche
Description
This quiche begins by sautéing cubed ham and diced yellow onions in butter until the onions are translucent, enhancing their sweetness and melding flavors. Broccoli florets are lightly steamed in the microwave to soften, ensuring even cooking and retaining some bite. The custard is prepared by whisking eggs and heavy cream together for richness and smoothness.
Ingredients are layered in a greased 9-inch pie plate, starting with ham, onions, broccoli, and a portion of shredded cheddar cheese. The egg and cream custard is poured over, with the remaining cheese sprinkled on top. The quiche is baked at 375°F for 35 to 40 minutes until set, determined by the absence of a jiggle in the center, and allowed to cool slightly before slicing.
Without a crust, this dish highlights the medley of textures and savory flavors of ham, cheese, and vegetables encased in a creamy egg custard. It's suitable as a protein-rich breakfast, brunch, or light dinner option.
