If you're like me, the crust is the only fussy thing about making quiche. The filling is the easy part, if you have some eggs beaten with milk or cream to make the custard, the rest is up to your taste and creativity.


To work around the crust issue, you might check out the recipe I posted on Suite101 for crustless spinach quiche.


Purists would probably object that it's not really a quiche. How pure are you?
I have quiche pans. They are ceramic. I spray them heavily with pam. Slice up what ever you want in it. Scramble eggs, mix with everything and throw it in the pan. I don't like crust on mine. I have also used a rice crust *baked rice with egg*, but all quiche is is baked egg. It's a scamble, not fried. I like cheese on top of mine. Bake until brown on top. I kind of call it dump quiche. I use what ever is in the fridge and needs to go. Just make sure your veggies are cooked before adding and what ever meat you add is cut very small.





So, preheat your oven, clean out the fridge, scramble up some eggs and BAM, you got quiche. lol *seriously, I do this at least twice a month*
Pre-made frozen crust, raw. 1 c. imitation crab or lobster, 1 c. shredded cheese, your choice. Put seafood and cheese in bottom of crust. Beat 2 eggs, add 1 1/2c. milk, 1/4 tsp. garlic pepper. Pour over seafood and cheese. Bake in preheated 375 oven about 20--25min. or until filling is set. Cool and eat.
whisk eggs, milk and whatever fillings you want (cheese, bacon, spring onion, tomato, onion, grated carrot or zuccini etc) and poor into and pastry lined tray, bake till set





done!





ingredients depend on how big you want it.
