Let me start by saying I love a good pie crust! However, I am unable to make one, and I do not like the frozen ones from the store. So I have spent much time avoiding making pies and quiche. I have discovered a terrific method of making a quiche without a crust.
We like bacon, spinach, onion and Swiss cheese in our quiche, but I have made it with just cheese and mushrooms as well. Begin by crisping 3 or 4 strips of bacon, remove and drain. In about 2 tablespoons of the bacon drippings brown your chopped onion, once the onion is translucent, mix with the crumpled bacon and pour over about 2 cups of chopped fresh spinach to wilt it some.
For the egg mixture: I begin by mixing about 2 tablespoons of floor with 3/4 cups of cold milk, I shake them together to remove the lumps and set aside. In a separate bowl, break 7 large eggs and whisk to break the yokes and blend them together. Mix in the milk and flour, add salt and pepper to taste. Let this stand for a few minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 - 375 (my oven runs slightly low so I use 375)
In a glass pie pan spray with cooking spray for easy release.
Spread the bacon, onion, spinach (etc) on the bottom, sprinkle with cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the filling. Let this reset for 7 - 10 minutes.
Place in the oven for about 40 minutes, a knife inserted in the middle will come out clean. The quiche should rise nicely, don't be disheartened when it settles as it cools, it will not affect the taste but you will be happy with how it looks.
