Crustless Quiche

Love quiche but hate to dabble with the tricky pastry? Either you buy off the shelf or try this method of making quiche. The best description I have for it: baked eggs. Since quiches are actually egg pies, so minus the crust it would be just baked eggs. Make sense? Hmm....

I found and made this recipe some time back when Hubby was on low-carb diet. Its really easy to make, especially with a food processor. As quiches are usually very accomodating, you will throw pretty much anything in it. I made mine with spinach and some leftover white button mushrooms. A really good yummy dish to have first thing in the morning.
