Description
An easy, healthy and delicious weeknight meal idea! This crustless quiche is perfect for a quick dinner on the go, or a sit-down brunch.
Ingredients
1 lb asparagus, washed, ends snapped off and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
6 eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups gruyere
5 oz ham steak, diced
3 scallions, white and green sections
Instructions
In a medium pan, cook the asparagus and garlic in the butter over medium heat until the asparagus is fork-tender. Season with a little extra salt and pepper. Once asparagus is done cooking, set aside, and preheat the oven to 350 F.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Transfer the asparagus as well as the ham into a greased 9″ tart dish, pie dish, or an 8×8 casserole. By doing this first, we can be sure that all of the meat and veggies are evenly distributed. Top with the shredded gruyere, and then with the chopped scallions.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ham, asparagus, cheese and scallions. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the very middle of the quiche is just a little wobbly in the middle if you give it a gentle shake. Allow to cool before serving.
