Introduction
My grandmother's recipe for a crustless quiche. Makes a fine lunch or light dinner when paired with a salad and/or a bowl of soup. It also makes a nice side dish for a breakfast or a brunch if you slice it into eighths rather than fourths.This recipe can be easily adjusted by replacing the Swiss with whatever other cheese you may desire, and by replacing the broccoli with another vegetable. Turkey bacon or diced reduced fat sausage also make a delightful addition.
The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup of chopped onion. I have omitted this because I do not like onions, but feel free to add it back in. You would add the onion to the pie plate with the broccoli and the swiss.
The recipe calls for whole large eggs. You can replace any of the whole eggs with an appropriate quantity of egg white if you so choose, although I personally prefer the taste and texture you get if you leave in at least two whole eggs.
