Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar round baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare the Filling: If using vegetables, make sure they are cooked and excess moisture is removed. Cook and crumble any meats you wish to include.
- Mix Eggs and Cream: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream (or milk). Stir in the grated cheese, cooked fillings, salt, and pepper, and any herbs if using.
- Assemble the Quiche: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie dish. Make sure the fillings are evenly distributed.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let the quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
This crustless quiche is wonderfully versatile and can be adapted to include whatever ingredients you have on hand, making it a perfect dish to prepare for any meal.
