Crustless Quiche - Ham and Cheese
Recipe video above. Tastes like Quiche Lorraine, minus the carbs and a load of prep time. Buy pre chopped ham and pre shredded cheese, and you'll get this in the oven in 5 minutes flat! Excellent breakfast or brunch that keeps for days, serve slices like quiche OR stuff into rolls, make burritos! (see in post for photo)
