chef cooking tips for the crustless quiche recipe
- The #1 reason I love this recipe is because it did not have a crust. The less steps the better when I’m trying to navigate the kitchen in the wee morning hours. No rolling or prebaking of the crust to mess with. And my crust was never quite right when it came to quiche making. It was either a little soggy or not the right size to fit my pie pan.
- Also, it is best to cook the vegetables before adding them to the quiche. You just need some of the water to come out of the veggies. Otherwise the quiche will not set up quite right. Either saute or steam the veggies. If you are in a hurry, zap the finely diced vegetables in the microwave at 30 second intervals until they are just cooked through.
- Cut the quiche in nice neat squares for serving. Refrigerate any leftovers and reheat in the microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds.

adapt the quiche to your favorite ingredients
Making quiche is fun to make as you can prepare it any way you like. Change up the fillings and add your favorites. Some combos I love to make include ~

Do you recommend freezing this with the egg added or without? I was thinking about freezing just the veggies and bacon, then adding the egg the day I cook it.
★★★★★
I have only frozen the recipe from the baked version. But your suggestion would work too. I love it!
