This easy Crustless Quiche recipe is flavorful and simple. Packed with protein from eggs, ham, and cheese, it's perfect for breakfast and brunch, as well as dinner.

Ingredients

6 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon Morton kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped chives, divided, +2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top
1 cup shredded mild or medium cheddar cheese, divided, +2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top
1 cup small-diced (¼" pieces) cooked ham, divided, +2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly spray a 9" pie plate with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt, black pepper, and Dijon just until evenly combined.
Scatter 1 tablespoon of the chives evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Then add ½ cup shredded cheese, followed by ½ cup ham. Repeat this layering, scattering 1 tablespoon chives, followed by ½ cup cheese and then ½ cup ham. This method keeps the lighter ingredients from floating to the top of the dish.
Slowly and evenly drizzle the egg mixture over the top. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons cheese over the top, followed by a bit more ham, and then a bit more chives.
Place pan in center of oven. For a softer set, bake 35 minutes, until golden on top and center is set. For a bit firmer set, bake 40 minutes. My family prefers the 40-minute cook time, plus this offers cleaner slices. The outer portion of the quiche will puff up while baking, then deflate as it cools.
Remove from oven and let rest (and deflate) for 5 minutes. Cut into individual portions and enjoy hot.
