A Crustless Quiche

From our friend Sam...

I always thought that making a quiche needed some top secret culinary skills. Turns out it really isn't difficult.  I tried this crustless quiche recipe, and it was so easy I had to share it with all the unassuming cooks out there.

Crustless Quiche

4 eggs
4 tbsp flour, sifted
1 cup basic chicken (see recipe below) 
1 small onion chopped
1/4 cup red and green pepper
1 cup grated cheese
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp soft butter
2 tbsp oil
250 ml fresh cream 
1 tsp ground chillies
pepper
salt

Topping:
1 cup grated cheese
sesame seeds

Method:
1.  Preheat oven to 180°C
2.  Mix eggs and flour
3.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well (Note - apart from the chicken, nothing else needs to be cooked)
4.  Pour into greased oven dish 
5.  Add topping
6.  Bake for 30 minutes until golden
7.  Slice immediately, and allow to cool and set.


Basic Chicken

2 cups chicken fillet
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic paste
2 tsp ground chillies
1 tsp crushed cumin
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1 tsp sale
3 tbspn lemon juice
1/2 cup water

Method:
1.  Heat oil
2.  Cook garlic paste
3.  Add chicken
4.  Add remaining ingredients, and water as required, and cook.


Tip:
For a (slightly) healthier option, use reduced fat cream instead of fresh cream.

  2. Thanks for recipe Sam, it was delicious! The only thing I did differently was to heat the oil, and soften the onions and peppers before adding them to the mixture. -R
