No-crust Quiche

Quiche is really easy and also quick - just about 25 minutes in total.

Ingredients:
1 x 200ml carton 35% cream
3 eggs
vegetables*
bacon/ham/chicken sasami meat/mini sausages**
shredded cheese if you like it

Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C
2. Use a brush or a small piece of kitchen paper to coat a pan*** with olive oil.
3. Put the vegetables and meat into the pan.
4. Break the eggs into a bowl, beat with a fork.
5. Add the cream.
6. Add a little salt and pepper.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
8. Top with shredded cheese.
9. Bake for about 20 minutes in the center of the oven.

* Vegetables
You can use almost any vegetables that aren't too wet. Big tomatoes are not good, but mini tomatoes cut in half are great. For hard vegetables like broccoli or fresh asparagus, cut them into small pieces and microwave them for a few minutes. Spinach should be microwaved with just a very little water, then drained on kitchen paper. Any kind of onion or negi leek is okay.


** Meat
It is not necessary to add any meat. Mostly I make vegetarian quiche because the eggs and cream are high in protein and fat.


***Pan
Any size pan is okay. Sometimes I use a pound cake pan, sometimes a flat quiche pan, sometimes a muffin pan for mini-quiche! Pyrex glass dishes are fine, as are gratin dishes.


You will notice I don't use any pie sheet. It isn't necessary.
