Tips to make Crustless Quiche

Experiment boldly! Swap out Gruyere for feta or add in some roasted peppers.
If you’re looking for a lighter option, use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream—extra protein, less guilt.
For a fluffier texture, beat those eggs separately before adding them to the mix.
Make it the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning for an effortless meal.
If you prefer a bit more seasoning, throw in some dried herbs like oregano or thyme.
