Crustless Quiche
Quiche is an egg dish traditionally baked in a pie crust. However, you can bake the custard in a pie plate or casserole without using a crust to make a crustless quiche that is lower in fat and carbs than the traditional recipe. Quiche makes a good breakfast or brunch dish or can be served with a salad for a light dinner.
