Quiche

It’s nice to be able to whip up something classy in no time when unexpected guests/family pop by or to make something ahead that’ll do for a few quick breakfasts on busy days. Quiche can be eaten hot, cold or room temperature, as a main course or side dish and washed down with your favourite beverage. Quiche is good for breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea time, dinner, appetizers, midnight snack…pretty…

Quiches

Tonight I made mini quiches, crustless mini quiches specifically, for dinner. I forgot to take pictures but they turned out really nice. This made the perfect amount for three people for dinner.

Ingredients

6 extra large eggs (it's the size I buy)

1 carrot (medium size)

1 zucchini (medium size)

Pinch salt

200g approx bacon, diced (don't trim the fat)

2 tablespoons crushed garlic

Approx 1/2 cup grated cheddar (I use Tasty)

Method

Preheat oven to 190 Celsius.

Put bacon in pan on low heat, you want the fat to render out, when it is rendered add the garlic and cook til preferred amount of browning/crispy. I don't crisp mine up for quiches but I like a little bit of colour. Let it cool a little.

Whilst the bacon is cooking, in a large mixing bowl grate the carrot and zucchini (I prefer the large grating size for this, not the fine grater). Add the pinch of salt and mix. Let sit whilst bacon cooks.

Add bacon and garlic (with the rendered fat) , eggs, and cheese to the vegetables. Beat with spoon until well combined.

Spoon into muffin tray, this made 12 regular muffins exactly, if tray is not non stick or silicone lightly grease before filling. Extra cheese can be added on top if you wish.

Bake for approx 20 minutes, check with fork that egg is cooked. Take out and serve hot, it can also be eaten cold.

Notes

Other vegetables that can be used are: grated pumpkin, diced tomatoes (deseeded), diced capsicum, corn kernals, sauteed diced onion, or sauteed diced mushrooms. For this amount of eggs you use about 2-3 cups of vegetables. Be aware that higher moisture content will affect the texture of the quiches.

I leave in the rendered bacon fat for flavour but you can just not put it in. The moisture from the vegetables means you don't need milk, so if you omit the cheese they are dairy free.

Unlike other crustless quiches I don't use flour, I don't see the point, the egg sets fine and while it might not brown the whole way around I usually end up with a golden top and bottom. Fiddling with a crust and getting it to cook properly is just annoying.

These refrigerate, freeze, and reheat well. I've used mini muffin trays before, frozen them in batches of 2-4 a bag, perfect size for breakfast or morning tea for one. They defrost very quickly and can be eaten cold or reheated. If you make them smaller or larger just adjust the cooking time.
