Awesome! Sometimes I find quiches made with too many eggs too rich, but the milk and flour made this spot on. Monterey jack isn't widely available in Australia so I used a natural cheddar and fresh mushrooms instead of canned.

This was delicious and simple! I left out the mushrooms (personal preference) and used extra ham. I used a combination of cheeses that I had on hand. I think this recipe would be easily adaptable to ingredients you have on hand. This was such a hearty dish that my husband, toddler and I ate it for dinner with waffles and still had enough to eat again for lunch the next day. This will be a new standby recipe for me!

Super Delish! I was out of Bisquick and didn't know it until I was ready to make breakfast for company. I looked up "crustless quiche" and found this recipe. I don;t think I will ever buy bisquick again! I did add about 1/2 tsp of baking pwder to the flour and salt and it was pretty close to the same result... mabe even better - crisper on the edges, like a pizza crust! I made mine with broccoli, ham, crisp bacon, green onion and aged cheddar. A hit, as expected! Note: as with Bisquick, you could do taco meat and tomatoes, and cheese, or quite literally, any meat, veg and cheese using the same flour and egg base. I did double the recipe as I used a 12" round stoneware piece from papered chef. I layered meat, then veg, then cheese and onion and poured the batter mis over top and let it sink in. Baked for 30 mins. Worked like a charm.
