Crustless Quiche

Submitted by Cindy Lynn

"This is the recipe that inspired me to purchase a Corning Ware quiche dish, not that it is an absolute requirement. A girlfriend from college (she and I were both returning adult students) gave me this recipe, upon my request, after she'd served it at one of our get-togethers. A crust forms as the quiche is baking. This can be served just about any time."

SUPERB!! I made this tonight for dinner for a change, DD frowned at it and asked for seconds :-) Instead of swiss cheese I just used all mild cheddar, and a green onion too. Thanks for a good recipe!

This quiche is a lovely dish to serve to guests. I made the dish following the instructions given, but I did use green onions instead of regular onions. I don't think that altered the taste of the original recipe. The flavor was wonderful and it was very easy to make. I followed your advice, Cindy, and made it in a quiche pan. It turned out so pretty! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

It was an okay basic crustless recipe. I found it to be a little more firm that I typically like in a quiche and in need of some more seasoning, perhaps chives or rosemary. Otherwise, it had a good flavor and was very simple to make!

Made this recipe as written (for the most part) and think it was PERFECT, unlike some of the other reviewers. I was concerned because I read the reviews after I put it in the oven and saw that some added an extra egg or less flour, but I think it was fine just the way it was. I did use red pepper instead of green because that is what I prefer and skim milk because it is what I had on hand. I also used only cheddar cheese and accidentally put the last 2/3 c on top when I first put it into the oven, instead of towards the end. It didn't make much of a difference though; it was delicious! I will cut back on the salt content next time thought because the Canadian bacon is pretty salty to begin with--you can always add in later but you can't take it out. Thanks Cindy Lynn for the awesome recipe!!

This was really great. I used browned ground beef and onions, as well as three eggs. Baking at 425 browned it too quickly; I had to finish baking it at 400. Thank you Cindy!
