See what you started Debby

Hey I'm innocent, I tell ya! I was just looking at the pretty sprinkles.

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.

Thank you for sharing the recipe. It looks divine. You said cream works better. What if I used cream only?

That would work just fine. It'll be rich though so be careful about what kind of cheese you use. If it's also rich then it can be too much.

I've always used a crust when I've made quiche in the past. But I think I'll try your way (feeling lazy today, lol). Do you spray the pie pans with no-stick?

Yeah, or grease them with butter.

Butter is good!

Thanks Debby! My husband already thinks I have enough I will check it out.

Husbands are like that. They don't understand the need for several different things to use. If they are doing something they only need one or two items for.

One or two items like WD-40 and duct tape for everything!

Remember: They do NOT understand you and YOU do not understand
them. We are all different. Do not sweat this small stuff....buy what you
think YOU need. And let him buy what he thinks HE needs. It does
work out in the end. The issues in the front and middle are not needed.
Best for all concerned and it DOES WORK. Aria

I happens ALWAYS...usually....Get what you want and he gets what he wants. As Life goes on ...YOU WILL NOT NOTICE his shop. And you
should enjoy and do "your thing". Not worth the process... stay HAPPY.

I don’t care if he buys tools. He’s not one to waste money. He uses what he buys. I use what I buy. It’s just one of those things we pick on each other over.
