Recipes :: Crustless Quiche

Remember, these recipes are "EC" ! :)

Have you ever tasted a truly delicious crustless quiche? One that is vegetarian, gluten free, and free of garlic and onions? Probably sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, after a little experimenting with what I had on-hand, and a lovely inspired idea, a masterpiece came forth.

I AM so happy to share that masterpiece with you here!

And, please check back soon, as I will also be uploading an image of this lovely bake as soon as I make it again (this week)!

Cook/Bakeware:
9 1/2-10" glass pie plate or quiche pan--I use a pyrex pie plate!
Blender or Food Processor

Ingredients:
7 Large Free Range Organic Eggs
1 7oz-8oz Pkg Cream Cheese, diced into cubes (yes the real thing...I use "Hahn's" brand which is 7oz; the 1 oz difference is never noticeable)
1 lb frozen spinach, thawed & drained
2 small, or 1 large, organic zucchini, sliced fairly thin
1 & 1/4 cup of sweet white non-GMO frozen corn
2 TBS non-GMO Cornstarch

Seasoning:
2 TBS Nutritional Yeast Flakes
1 TSP Pink Himalayan Salt
1 Sprinkle of organic nutmeg
2-3 gentle shakes of Cayenne Pepper (very gentle!)

The "Crustless" Crust:
Soy Free Earth Balance & Coconut Flour (really!!)

Directions:
1. Beat 7 eggs together in a medium-large bowl until well blended.
2. Add seasonings to egg blend.

Set aside.

3. Add spinach, zucchini, corn, cornstarch and diced cream cheese to blender
4. Blend on medium until well blended.
5. Add half of egg mixture to blender and blend to saturate.
6. Add the 2nd half of egg mixture and blend well.

Preheat oven to 350; "grease" your glass plate with the earth balance.

Sprinkle coconut flour all around the sides, making sure to cover them well; sprinkle all around the bottom too.

Add mixture from blender to pie plate.

Sprinkle more coconut flour around the top EDGES of the dish, just enough to create a thin layer of very light "crust."

Sprinkle more around the top at random if you wish. (This is optional.)

Pop it in the oven for 55 minutes.

Turn off oven and let it "set" for 15 minutes IN the oven.

After 15 minutes, remove from oven; let cool about 5-8 minutes before slicing.

Enjoy!

Happy Baking,
