My sister and her family came by for a quick visit last weekend on their way to Nantucket.  Amidst the craziness of a 6 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old who had been in the car for over 3 hours, they ate this quiche.  It met with positive reviews all around. This is a basic recipe that can be customized however you like.  I made it last year with spinach and cheddar, but really any combination of vegetables, meat, or cheese works.  Crustless Quiche with Goat Cheese and Tomato 6 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk 3-4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled 1 tomato, sliced 1 Tablespoon fresh basil, chopped 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped Salt and Pepper Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 9 inch ceramic dish or pie plate with cooking spray, or grease with butter. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.  Stir in herbs and season with salt and pepper.

Cook onion for a couple minutes. Add in Swiss chard....

My aunt gave me a quiche dish and a recipe for crustless quiche.  I like getting recipes as gifts, because I'm sure you'll be shocked to learn that I like to read recipes.  You don't need a quiche dish to make this, a pie plate will work, but with the right dish it's prettier.  And pretty counts.  And a quiche dish is uniformly deep, so it will cook more evenly. Eggs are one of my favorite foods.  I think I would take them if I was abandoned on a desert island.  Eggs and hand lotion.  If you saw the state of my hands, you'd understand. Crustless Quiche adapted from my aunt, Harriett Ingredients: 1 medium onion, chopped 1 bag baby spinach, or 1 box frozen spinach, thawed olive oil 5 large eggs 1 cup milk or half and half (I used 1% milk) 1-2 cup grated cheese Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Butter of spray a 10" quiche dish or a glass pie plate. Heat a few teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet, and saute onion for about 5 minutes.  ...
