What Makes This Crustless Quiche So Special?

This recipe is a star because it’s endlessly adaptable and forgiving. Stale bread, extra vegetables, or even that last bit of cheese can all find a home in your quiche. The result is a custardy, melt-in-your-mouth slice studded with chunks of smoky ham and pockets of bubbling cheese, all with minimal prep and cleanup.

Easy Ingredient Prep for Maximum Flavor

Start by dicing your ham and vegetables. For quick and uniform chopping, a tool like the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes this step effortless, ensuring even cooking and a consistent texture throughout your quiche.

Use fresh or leftover vegetables – bell peppers, spinach, and onions are great choices. If you want perfectly sautéed veggies without sticking, the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet will help you sauté your add-ins to golden perfection with minimal oil.

Crafting a Light and Fluffy Custard

The secret to a luxurious quiche is well-beaten eggs and creamy dairy – milk, half-and-half, or cream all work. To get the fluffiest mixture, whisk your eggs and milk thoroughly; for extra ease, try a dependable Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender. Simply toss in the eggs and dairy, pulse, and pour! This guarantees a smooth, homogenous base.

Mix in shredded cheese, such as sharp cheddar, gruyere, or Swiss, for flavor and texture. Sprinkle a little extra on top for a bubbly, golden finish.

Baking and Serving Tips for Perfect Quiche

Line your baking dish with a strip of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy removal and quick cleanup. Pour in your egg mixture, scatter in ham and vegetables, then top with cheese. Bake until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Slice and serve warm, at room temperature, or cold – it’s delicious any way. For easy meal prep or to take your quiche on the go, store extra slices in an air-tight container like Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers.
