Takos Crustless Quiche
- 15 eggs
- 3 cups half-and-half cream
- 3 cups mixed grated cheese (I usually use 2 entire 8 oz bricks, 1 Jack & 1 Colby, which gives some tasty extra cheesiness., Bran)
- 34 cup chopped onion
- 2 chopped bell peppers (= approx. 1 1/2 cups. If making two quiches, it's convenient to use half-each of a Red + Yellow + Gr)
- orange
- 6 tablespoons chives
- nutmeg
- 1 small handful cornmeal
- 1 pinch nutmeg (to taste)
- (May be done the night before!)
- Cook the bacon, grate the cheese, & chop & saute the veggies.
- Let the bacon dry a bit, then shred.
- The food processor is your friend.
- The day of, preheat the oven to 350.
- Mix the eggs & cream.
- Oil (or butter) dishes, sprinkle corn meal on the bottom, and layer ingredients.
- (Avoid the temptation to mix ingredients like chives directly with the egg, since they pool up wherever you pour the egg into the dish.
- ).
- Pour in the egg mixture & sprinkle any chives on top.
- (Recommend leaving 1/4 or more of space below the top of the dish, as the quiche will well up & want to spill over.
- ).
- Cook for 1 hour, watching it closely.
- (The recipe says 45 minutes for a smaller quantity, and weve had shorter & longer cook times based on oven performance & cheese moisture content.
- ).
- If cooking more than one, switch their oven positions halfway through!
- (If cooking a Veggie one, start with Veggie the bottom so that by the time things might drop over, the top Veggie drops onto the bottom Meat.
- ).
