Because this mixture of leftovers was just SO disgusting before I baked it, I had to share it!! Aren’t I gross?! But look, this shows what magic you can do with leftovers, even a half a handful of meat, cheese, vegetables–instead of tossing them in the garbage, toss them together and bake! (Although yes, I know the pre-baked mixture looks like tossed cookies, hahahaha!)
(Here’s another gross to great quiche post.)
Here’s the general recipe for a crustless quiche:
- 1 cup milk (or substitute sour cream or half-and-half)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2-3 eggs slightly beaten (use 3 eggs for fluffiest quiche)
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (not mozzarella but a “hard” cheese such as cheddar, feta, etc.)
- 1/2 cup chopped, cooked leftover meat (chicken, ham, turkey, roast, even tuna)
- 1/4 cup chopped, cooked vegetables (squeeze out the liquid, but I’ve also used frozen)
- seasoning to taste (salt, pepper, dash of nutmeg, garlic salt, etc.)
In addition to egg, flour, etc., here’s the list of leftovers I used in the dish shown below:
- half handful of chopped celery
- cup of chopped-up homemade breaded chicken nuggets and a bit of pork roast
- whatever shredded cheddar cheese was left in a bag and some little bits from a block of cheese
- a bit of frozen succotash and corn hiding in the freezer
- forgot to show this, but about 1/2 cup of gravy left over from pork roast that was too good to throw out so I used it instead of the water. This amount of liquid made it a bit too jiggly at the end of baking so I left it in for 5 more minutes to “harden.”
Directions:
- preheat oven to 425 degrees
- mix all the ingredients in one bowl
- pour into a greased 9-inch pie plate
- bake for 30-35 minutes (5 minutes more if the middle is still jiggly)
Serve hot — with sour cream or salsa like I did below, and enjoy!
