If you have a crust recipe that you like, you could certainly use one, but I find this so easy without a crust. This recipe is so simple and works for any meal of the day, is relatively portable, and can even be fancy enough to bring to a gathering or serve to guests.
INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs
1 can (14-16 oz) of coconut milk without additives
1-2 T butter or fat for cooking
1/2 onion
1 cup diced meat (I prefer ham)
OR diced vegetables (bell pepper, asparagus, greens, or zucchini work especially well)
1 cup of cubed cheese
1/2 tsp salt
other herbs and spices, optional
METHOD:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat in the coconut milk. Mix in the cubed cheese, salt, and any other herbs or spices that you are using.
3. In a 10 inch skillet (ideally cast iron), melt the fat and saute the onions for several minutes.
4. If you are using vegetables, add them now and saute several more minutes, allowing any moisture to come out (such as with mushrooms).
5. Turn off the heat, add your meat and stir, and then pour the egg mixture over the top.
6. Bake for 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
I've heard about these grain-free diets before and thought I'd see what it was like. I quickly realized that a lot of my favorites have crust on them! I like to explore different styles of food so I thought this would be a fun way to do it! I want to try this crustless quiche, it looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.
