And what does the flour mixed with the eggs do? I’ve made crustless quiche with just the regular filling and no crust…but never your way. Can you share what the difference is in taste/texture? Thanks!
Jawgee, I cook the meat first, but not the veggies.
Shannon, the flour creates just enough crust to keep it from getting soupy on the bottom, which can definitely be a problem otherwise with all the veggies. Easier to serve and eat without it falling apart, too. It’s not really a crust so much as a baked edge, hard to explain… I think it gives it a bit lighter/puffier texture, too.
You are a great mom Misty; we have always done oatmeal and always will, every morning because it’s cheap, and we eat early and I don’t cook breakfast and don’t want too. If I were going to cook breakfast it would be something I would make ahead the day before like quiche or breakfast casserole. Most of us don’t eat dairy or gluten so my quiche just has apples, eggs, spinach, almond milk, and Basil. Casserole has eggs, shredded sweet potatoes, and choice of meat. I make the casserole in the crockpot too.
