I made Slovak paska with my mother yesterday, and had way too much fun with it.
I took the dough and divided it into fourths, as usual. Three of the fourths I made into the usual braided loaves, and with the last fourth, I made tiny little mini-muffin-pan paskas! Braided and everything... they're so cute! For the raisin ones (one of my family members doesn't like raisins, so I left some plain), I made the braid and rolled it around some raisins before placing it in the pan.
Sadly, I do not have pictures... I'll take some, but I don't know when I'll be able to upload them for those who are curious.

It is nice seeing you here!

I'll have to look up paska, don't think I've heard of that before!

So, it's a type of braided bread (judging from the pictures I found online). Interesting!

Would you share the recipe?

Sure! I made 2 crustless quiches. One I baked, the other was frozen uncooked. You can then bake from frozen and add a few extra minutes to the cook time.

For each egg I'm using I add half a cup of milk, cream or half and half. In this case it was 4 eggs per quiche and 2 cups of liquid. I like half and half or a mixture of a bit more cream than milk because the custard comes out better than with just milk.
1 pound bacon, cooked crisp
1 pound asparagus, steamed
About 2 cups shredded cheese. You can use any cheese you like. I've used gouda and swiss, both very good.

Grease pie plates and crumble half the bacon into each, top each with half the asparagus and sprinkle on the cheese. Whisk together eggs with half and half, I did this separately for each pie plate so I didn't over fill them. Pour it over the fillings, sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes. The center should be slightly jiggly when you take it out.

The general rule of thumb is 4 eggs, 2 cups liquid and 2 cups filling of your choice.

If you stick to the egg to liquid rule you can use any fillings you like. Ham, cheese and a little wilted fresh spinach is really good too. I'm lazy so I tossed in the asparagus whole.

This is a quiche without a crust. It is more like a Frittata.

They are very tasty and are gluten free!

Edited to add: Try a real quiche sometime. The pie crust adds a lot to it!

DigMyChicks has a crustless quiche recipe in the google sheet too. We now have two recipes to try!

Not at all like a frittata. They use eggs with very little liquid and it's traditionally fried not baked. Crust is nasty, just sayin'

Do you dislike pie crust in general or just in a Quiche.

I have a frittata recipe that is both baked and fried. It is in the google doc.

For me, the crust adds a nice crunchy texture. The crust should be blind baked first though or it becomes soggy
