As I am learning about egg casseroles, quiches, and frittatas, quiches have milk and cream while frittatas typically do not. Frittatas mostly start out on the stovetop and then finish the remaining cooking in the oven. I love to finish off my eggs with some delicious sriacha or fresh salsa.
I’ve been trying to get more creative in the kitchen by using more of what I have (in the pantry) and less buying (of something specific) to make a particular recipe. This morning was one of those days! Sometimes my ‘type A’ personality can take over and I can get very picky about having all of the right ingredients just to make one recipe. Is anyone else that way?
Add your favorite vegetables
Well, you don’t have to be as rigid with this wonderful crustless quiche. One will definitely need eggs, milk, and some cheese, but add or subtract (as you like) with the vegetables. Yippee! I had plenty of eggs and cheese, but only a few sparse veggies remained in the fridge to whip up a healthy egg bake. Like a handful of kale and some almost ready to pitch green onions. Voila! Add them to the quiche and a healthy, delicious, breakfast is ready!
If kale is not something you enjoy or have on hand, it can be easily substituted with broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms. Tomatoes would be mouth-watering, too.
