Notes
Customize your healthy crustless quiche by swapping the filling ingredients. I have tried adding ham, only with spinach or zucchini, use any leftovers of chicken, or whatever veggie you have on hand for the filling. The combinations are endless. I also think that onions and eggs are a great combo!
If you aren't a veggie fan you can leave them out and bake the egg mixture and it will result in a tasty cottage cheese crustless quiche.
This recipe is great to prepare for meal prep. You can also make it using a muffin tin, so you have individual portions, no cutting is required. Cook for 15 minutes approximately.
Storing: You can store it in a glass container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheating: You can reheat them in the oven for 5 minutes at 350º F and add more cheese if you want to!
