pastryless quiche?

liz545

I sometimes do crustless quiches as a lunchbox item; baking them individually in muffin tins (although I suppose technically they're frittatas if they don't have a quiche). Just mix together your choice of veggies/meat/cheese with beaten eggs and a splash of milk, grease a muffin tin with frylight spray, pour in and bake for 15-20 minutes or until set and golden. Yummy!

It's gorgeous and turns out very easily from a plain flan dish as it shrinks a little when cooking. It's quite easily adaptable too.

Thanks for posting the link, it sounds delicious, they also have quite a few good recipes on there I'm going to try out

Is this possible? I need to cut out lots of carbs and fat so was thinking about making a quiche without the pastry. How does it turn out?

Really nice, I make it regularly. For some reason it takes much nicer cold than warm though.

Dont see why not, Morrisons sell crustless quiches.

It'd turn out like a fat omlette i'd presume...

I have done this before, and it works out fine. It is pretty much a fat omelette.

This is a frittata! You can put ANYTHING in these types of flan.....sweet peppers/tuna flakes/cottage cheese/chives etc.

Yum!

Yep, Slimming World members do this. It is like a massively fat frittata. My favourite is with lean bacon, softened onions, herbs and a tiny bit of gruyere.
