Crustless Vegetable Quiche

You can see from the photos above that I was able to use one of my favorite kitchen tools to make this crustless vegetable quiche recipe, the timeless and versatile cast iron skillet. My original intention was to bake this quiche in a pie dish but as you can see it stayed in the same vessel from which it started. I love putting this skillet to good use, especially at our small, rustic lake cottage.

There is no no flour in this dish and in fact there is no grain at all. If you are following a gluten free diet, this is a fantastic dish. If you are not following a gluten free diet, this is a fantastic dish.

The beautiful thing about this  crustless vegetable quiche recipe is that you can make it your own. Other than eggs and cheese, the primary ingredients are composed of what you have on hand. We’ve been getting some fantastic aquaponics produce all summer long from our good friends and urban farmers over at Grow Local, here in our little Wisconsin town of Neenah. True to form, we’ve done our best to put this locally grown and completely organ produce to good use.

We’re knee deep in summer but there’s plenty of time to check out your local farmer’s market and pick up some fresh produce. Or, grab some from your garden. Give this crustless vegetable quiche recipe a try. It’s a versatile, fresh and healthy celebration of the the very best of summer.  -Dan
