    Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche


    Source of Recipe


    I came up w/this recipe by adapting a couple of other recipes

    Recipe Introduction


    I actually serve this for dinner rather than breakfast. You could also bake this in a square or rectangular pan and cut into squares for appetizers. Or maybe even make mini quiche in a mini muffin pan.
    My husband really loves this!

    List of Ingredients




    6 large eggs -- beaten
    1 cup small curd cottage cheese
    1 can chopped green chiles -- (4 oz.)
    1 1/2 cups grated cheese -- approx. ( I used a mix of sharp cheddar and mild cheddar. Could use pepper jack, mozzarella, mont. jack, etc. although I really liked the taste of the sharp cheddar)
    3/4 cup diced ham -- approx. (cooked breakfast sausage would also be good--about 1/2 lb.?)
    3 Tbs. or so minced or grated onion -- approx. (or could use green onion)
    2 Tbs. melted butter
    Franks Red Hot Sauce -- to taste
    1/4 cup flour
    1/2 tsp. baking powder
    freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
    1 pinch kosher salt
    Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375.

    Mix eggs, cottage cheese, chiles, grated cheese, ham, onion, butter and hot sauce in large bowl.

    In a small bowl, mix flour baking powder, pepper, and salt. Stir into egg mixture.

    Pour into greased deep dish pie pan. Sprinkle or grate Parmesan over the top.

    Bake about 33-35 minutes or until set and knife inserted in center comes out clean.

    Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Serve w/additional Frank's hot sauce.

    NOTES : I came up with it by looking at 2 other recipes and using the things I had on hand. I served it for dinner w/Cinnamon Focaccia and sliced apples. Leftovers warmed up nicely. I think mushrooms would be delicious in this but I'm the only one who likes them around here. Or even drained spinach.
