Looking for an easy healthy egg dish for breakfast or brunch? Try this veggie-filled baked mushroom crustless quiche with red peppers, feta and arugula.
I used to be a sweet breakfast person. Give me waffles, berry oatmeal or muffins. But now I always go savory first, specifically eggs. Whether scrambled, hard-boiled or poached, I love them in pretty much any form.
Baking eggs is a simple way to incorporate a combination of interesting vegetables. That’s why I am such a big fan of whipping up a frittata or quiche. And I will eat them for breakfast, lunch and even dinner.
With this mushroom quiche recipe, I realize I really bend the rules on the classic definition, but I like doing a lighter version that’s more approachable and uncomplicated to make.
What makes this quiche different? First of all, I skip the pie crust. While I absolutely adore pastry. I would rather save it for dessert than for my breakfast. I do still bake it in a pie dish.
But wait, isn’t this a frittata? You can think of a frittata like a crustless quiche, but there are some differences. A frittata starts on the stove in a skillet with the eggs and then it is baked in a pan. With a quiche, the eggs are fully cooked in the oven. Also, a quiche has more milk mixed into the eggs than a frittata. Because of this, quiche tends to turn our softer and fluffier. Frittatas are firmer.
This is what you need for the quiche:
I pair the quiche with a simple mixed greens salad. This is where you can see how it is appropriate at any meal during the day. It’s a great option for a main dish.
Since it is crustless, I like serving it with a good loaf of artisan bread. You can toast it or not, it’s up to you.
Even though you may think of this as an entertaining recipe, the leftovers are great, so don’t hesitate to put it to use for meal prep.
I’m not one to rewarm eggs. My preference is to eat quiche leftovers cold from the fridge. When you reheat eggs, they tend to get rubbery. If you don’t want to eat a slice straight from the refrigerator, roughly chop it and toss it into a salad.
