Breakfast

Crust-less Veggie Quiche

What is the difference between a quiche and a frittata? Well, we had a lengthy discussion this morning about that very thing and this is our conclusion. Frittatas are started on the stove and finished in the oven on broil. The quiches, besides the obvious crusts, are completely oven cooked. Next time I try this I will be making a meat crust out of prosciutto. 

Ingredients:
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 pieces of deli ham or leftover ham
  • 3-4 mushrooms
  • 5 cherry tomatoes, the seedes and goo washed out
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 zucchini
  • s&p

Prep:Pre-heat oven to 325F and grease a casserole dish. Slice and wash the mushrooms and tomatoes into bite sized pieces. Roll the ham and slice into strips 1/4" wide. Use a cheese grater to cut up the carrots and zucchini. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with the s&p. 
Cook: 
Pour the eggs into the casserole dish and pour the veggies in. Mix thoroughly and add the ham. Mix again. I like to make a pretty top by putting some of the mushrooms and tomato on top but you can mix in if you like. Place in the oven for 35 minutes. Enjoy! 



Don't forget to add your favorite ginger! Mommy's helper was too adorable not to add to the recipe. He loves sitting on the counter and helping me cook. He loves getting to eat the pieces of carrot, ham and tomato more than anything. This kid is 100% Paleo and healthy as can be.
