Crustless tomato Quiche

“This is a perfect Quiche recipe – the texture is moist – not like some of the bought rubbery ones.I added a layer of artificial crab and everyone enjoyed the recipe – even asked for the recipe to take home.I made up the quiche in the am but held off pouring in the egg mixture until just before popping it in the oven – took 45 minutes, golden edges wonderful flavor. Unfortuneately I put the basil under the tomatoes and it would have looked so nice over them (my error)Thanks Derf for a WINNER26 Aug 09Made again and this time I cut back a few ingredients – I used 3 eggs, 1/2 cup evaporated 2% milk, 1 1/2 oz of light gouda & 2 tbsp parmesan sprinkled on top for the last 15 minuts of baking – It was still wonderfulThanks again Derf for a lovely Summer dinner”

“This was heaven!Who needs a crust when you can make quiche like this?It was so quick and easy and made my kitchen smell wonderful as it was baking.I woke up wanting something a little fancier than an omelette, and did a quick search.I had to make a few changes based on what I had on hand.I can’t find gruyere where I live so I used generic mixed cheese and it was still amazing.I added some small cubes of ham and also some thin red pepper slices and minced garlic that I needed to use up.It was perfect!Also used cherry tomatoes because I didn’t have the plum-sized ones.They baked up very nicely.So flavorful!And did I mention it was quick and easy?So happy with this recipe!Thanks for posting.”

“This was perfect for Christmas morning!I put all the ingredients together the night before, then in the morning, it baked while the kids opened presents.By the time the packages where all unwrapped, the quiche was cooked, and the family had a nice breakfast together, full of protein and veggies!”

“We liked this, though I thought it was kind of watery and I can’t quite figure out why.We thought the taste was nice.Thanks Derf!”

“Yummo, this has great flavour and is so simple to do too. I also added some shredded ham I had to use up and instead of gruyere just vintage tasty cheese, made for a lovely lunch, thanks for posting!”

“Fixed this along with two other quiches for our community group, this one disappeared in a blink.Fantastic!!! I used swiss cheese because that is what I had on hand.Turned out perfect.”

“I did not have evaporated milk, and indeed have never used it before. So I used normal milk with a bit of melted butter; I also put some cheese on top to get it a bit crusty, and some fried sausage to make it more substantial for my man. The taste was very good, although there was a bit of liquid on the bottom -perhaps the substitution of evaporated milk with normal one was to blame? Will definitely make it again.”

“I have been trying to make this forever so I finally went ahead and used what I had which was: Mix if Italian cheeses, egg beaters, and 2% milk. I also had 3 different kinds of delicious Italian meats so I added that too… I knew it would complement the onions, tomatoes and basil. Oh boy was I right, my quiche is almost gone and I’m by myself 🙂 I had to put it away so I have breakfast tomorrow. I’m sure this would be just fantastic as written but I’m really glad I had the spicy meats to add, it took it to another level of flavors. Thanks Derf!”

“I really don’t like crusts so this quiche was perfect.I used a variety of tomatoes from my garden and half and half rather than the evaporated milk.Great tasting quiche.”

“Yum!This was great!Didn’t have gruyere or fresh basil, so used mozzarella and dried basil – it was still delicious.Can’t wait to try it as posted!”

“Great light meal.I subbed swiss for the cheese and used fat free evaporated milk.Surprising how good.Taking the leftovers for the office tomorrow for breakfast.”

“Fabulous taste and it doesn’t get easier than this. What a great light meal! The only change I made was to use a pre-shredded italian cheese mix. By the time the oven had pre-heated the quiche was ready to bake. Love it! I think next time I’ll add basil into the milk/egg mixture if I have fresh basil for a more intense basil flavour. Wonderful recipe, Derf!”

“You can’t get any easier than this.A light and flavoursome quiche. I didn’t have any evaporated milk so used cream instead which worked well. This was a perfect recipe enjoyed by my husband and I which fits in well with our low-carb eating plan. Thank you!”

“This is so incredibly easy and good.GREAT for a quick, “school night” dinner and everyone, including my picky DS, loves it1″

“I used plain soy milk instead of cow’s milk, red onion, dried basil and ground black pepper instead of cayenne.Next time I would prefer the onions finely chopped rather than sliced.This was delicious, and the aroma while it was baking was incredible.Will definitely make again.Thanks for posting – this is a keeper!”

“I cooked this as an appetizer for my parents’ anniversary meal. THEY LOVED IT! Thank you so much for submitting it. Instead of the onions (my dad doesn’t like onions) I added an extra layer of cheese on top. The meal was a big success! Thanks! :)”

“Very good recipe – should probably give 5 stars since I changed to fat free evap. milk & egg whites (equiv. of 4 eggs).Enjoyed very much & is so versatile.Will definitely add to my “tried & true” cookbook.Next time I think I’ll sprinkle a bit of chipotle, too.Thanks for a keeper!”

“Yum!I made this today and it is so good.I did use a crust because I had one and it is delish….I think I also used too much milk because it was a bit liquidy.Next time I will just use half and half.Thanks Derf for the great recipe!”

“This is an excellent recipe, and versatile in what can be added or changed (like adding ham or bacon, or changing the flavor of cheese).What I like best is how it keeps for a quick breakfast or snack, or a lunch to be carried to the office.”

“I made muffin sized quiches; half the recipe filled my 6 (7cm) muffin tin perfectly.I also use sliced cherry tomatoes to keep the nice look of the top.Very tasty and cute as well, thanks!”
