Crustless Quiche Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon (preferably nitrate free)
• 1/2 yellow onion chopped
• 6 eggs
• 3/4 c heavy cream
• 1 box (10 oz. ) frozen chopped broccoli or spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1/2 pound swiss cheese, shredded (Gruyere is the best, but more expensive)
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Butter a 10-inch tart pan or 9-inch deep pie plate or 9x9 glass baking dish.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp.
4. Drain bacon on paper towels and chop coarsely.
5. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings from skillet.
6. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until softened but not brown.
7. In a large bowl, combine eggs, cream, broccoli, cheese, salt, and pepper.
8. Stir in bacon and onion.
9. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
10. Bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Watch carefully toward the end as oven temperatures vary. (You can tent the pie with foil to prevent over-browning.)
11. Cool 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
