Crustless Quiche

The beauty of this recipe is that you can toss almost anything you like into the egg mixture.  Thanks to my Aunt Marie for the recipe!

4     eggs, slightly beaten

1 ½ cups half-and-half, light cream, or milk

¼    tsp. salt

1/8  tsp. black pepper

¾     cup chopped cooked ham, cooked bacon, roasted or grilled chicken, and/or steamed  vegetables

1 ½  cups shredded Swiss, Monterey Jack and/or Havarti cheese

2      Tbsp. all purpose flour

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons herb or herb combination on the bottom of the prepared pie plate; set aside.

2. In a medium bowl stir together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper.  Stir in meat and/or vegetables.  In a small bowl, toss together the cheeses and flour.  Add to egg mixture; mix well.

3. Pour egg mixture into prepared pie plate.  Sprinkle top with a small amount of cayenne pepper and/or paprika, if desired.  Bake in a 325°oven for 40 – 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.  Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
