Ingredients
- Quiche
6 eggs
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup cooked meat (chicken, beef, lean pork, etc) finely chopped
1 cup veggies (thawed chopped spinach, chopped broccoli, leftover roasted veggies, etc)
3/4 cup half and half
1 cup grated cheese (aged cheddar or swiss is best)
2 tablespoons milk powder (optional; adds body and additional protein
Salt, pepper, freshly-ground nutmeg (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
non-stick cooking spray, EVOO, or coconut oil
If you want to make it crustless you can stop here, or you can make a crust with 2-4 Wasa crackers or 1 cup of almond meal. Mix the crumbs with a little melted butter, EVOO, or melted coconut oil until slightly moistened, but not wet.
DIRECTIONS
1) Lightly grease a pie plate, 9x9, or (my fav) a cupcake pan.
2) (skip this part if you are going crustless)... Spread the crust evenly on the bottom and a little bit up the sides of the pan. Toast in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes. Just until slighty toasty. *Watch it! It burns easy*
3) Saute onion in olive oil, until tender and translucent. Allow to cool.
4) In large bowl, beat eggs.
5) Add remaining ingredients to bowl; stir to combine.
6) Place the quiche pan into a larger baking pan (such as a lasagna pan). Add about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch of hot water to the larger pan (You just made a Bain-Marie! Who says you aren't French?). Avoid getting water into quiche mixture!
7)Bake at 300 degrees until quiche is firm, but still jiggles when shaken, about 40 minutes.
