A simple and satisfying crustless quiche that has all of the things I love; peppers (both hot & sweet), onions, Swiss, Gruyere, eggs, and cream.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup cream
- 1 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere and/or Swiss cheese divided
- 5 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon hot Giardiniera mix I like this one
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 teaspoon smoked hot paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Grated Parmesan for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese onto the bottom of a pie pan.
- Sauté onions in butter over medium-high heat until browned. Add chopped red pepper and Giardiniera and cook for about a minute more. Remove from heat.
- Scald cream in a medium sized saucepan at medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low. Whisk in 1 cup of the cheese and continue stirring until melted. (There will be 1/4 cup of cheese left.) Remove pan from heat and beat in eggs one at a time until completely incorporated. Then, add in the pepper & onion mixture and spices.
- Pour into a pie plate and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake until well browned, about 30-35 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
- The quiche is puffed up right from the oven.
- After a couple of minutes it deflates a little bit, but that's ok! Enjoy!
