  1. This was delicious and simple! I left out the mushrooms (personal preference) and used extra ham. I used a combination of cheeses that I had on hand. I think this recipe would be easily adaptable to ingredients you have on hand. This was such a hearty dish that my husband, toddler and I ate it for dinner with waffles and still had enough to eat again for lunch the next day. This will be a new standby recipe for me!
     
  2. This is such a great recipe!!! I had to use chopped bacon because I didn't have any ham, used a large, fresh mushroom instead of canned, and low fat Mexican cheese. Was really easy to put together, too. I have a small problem with the baking time. I had to set my oven @ 400 due to other things I was making, but the quiche was done in 30 minutes. I had the timer set for 35 min since I wasn't cooking it @ 425 but thankfully I took a look @ it before the time was up. It also reheats very well. Thanks so much for sharing.
     
  3. Awesome! Sometimes I find quiches made with too many eggs too rich, but the milk and flour made this spot on. Monterey jack isn't widely available in Australia so I used a natural cheddar and fresh mushrooms instead of canned.
     
  4. Super Delish! I was out of Bisquick and didn't know it until I was ready to make breakfast for company. I looked up "crustless quiche" and found this recipe. I don;t think I will ever buy bisquick again! I did add about 1/2 tsp of baking pwder to the flour and salt and it was pretty close to the same result... mabe even better - crisper on the edges, like a pizza crust! I made mine with broccoli, ham, crisp bacon, green onion and aged cheddar. A hit, as expected! Note: as with Bisquick, you could do taco meat and tomatoes, and cheese, or quite literally, any meat, veg and cheese using the same flour and egg base. I did double the recipe as I used a 12" round stoneware piece from papered chef. I layered meat, then veg, then cheese and onion and poured the batter mis over top and let it sink in. Baked for 30 mins. Worked like a charm.
     
  5. This is SO easy to make and very inexpensive. It's a great thing to make if you have leftovers to use up, or have a limited amount of ingredients to make dinner with. We made our first quiche with ham, cheese, mushroom, the onion, frozen spinach, and added frozen asparagus. It was AWESOME! I forgot the garlic, and it still tasted good! The second time I made it it was even better, since I remembered the garlic. You can throw just about anything in this quiche and it's excellent. The flour holds everything together nicely - I've even used 1/2 of the flour called for as whole wheat flour and it was a nice variation - gave a slightly nuttier flavor. This has become one of my favorite go-to recipes and there are NEVER any leftovers!

  2. This recipe was delicious and easy! I substituted the Colby-Monterey Cheese with 1/2 Monterey Jack Cheese and 1/2 Extra Sharp Cheddar and added some sliced zucchini which I sauteed with the onions. It was yummy!
     
  3. This is wonderful and so easy! I used extra sharp cheddar instead of the colby-jack cheese, and added some mixed dried herbs too. It would also be delicious using leftover bacon. I'll definitely make this again!
