The traditional quiche is a wonderful treat for a lazy weekend morning. I am giving you an even better quiche for your weekend that will not only fill you up, it is easier to make then the traditional quiche, but it is also easier on the waistline. This quiche is a crustless version that tastes even better than traditional. It is loaded with ham and gooey cheese. This ham and cheese quiche is so much easier to make you will probably feel like you have forgotten something.
The crustless style is everything that we love about quiche except the carbs. This quiche will taste great served as is, rolled up into a burrito, made into a wrap or even rolled into a soft egg roll. There is so much goodness in the quiche you will always want to have some on hand for guests or a quick snack.
Quiche can be served in a number of ways, as I stated. I tend to serve with a strawberry apple salad, a small dinner salad or just placed on a piece of toast. Many times, I have placed servings of crustless quiche on top of a crisp lettuce leaf and served it with fruit circling around on the plate.
Not only is it delicious, it also makes for a very beautiful set up. Anyway that you prefer to serve and eat this Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche is the perfect way to eat it!
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use milk instead of cream in this recipe?
Whole milk is an acceptable substitution in quiche, but it does have more calories that cream does.
Can I make this crustless quiche the night before?
You can certainly prepare this dish the night before. Be sure to put it into a dish that is able to go from cold to hot without cracking or breaking.
Isn’t a crustless quiche the same as a frittata?
Yes, it is quite similar to an Italian frittata. It uses the same ingredients and leaves out the crust.
Can I freeze any leftovers?
Yes, be sure that it is baked fully. Wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or place single servings into freezer bags. The crustless quiche can be kept frozen for up to a month.
