Crustless Quiche Lorraine

 Ingredients

cooking spray

6 eggs, well beaten

6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

2 green onions thinly sliced (optional)

1 cup grated Swiss Cheese

1 cup half and half

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp  pepper

dash of nutmeg

2 green onion tops chopped, or chopped chives, (for garnish)

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9” pie dish.
• Cook the bacon: Heat a large frying pan on medium heat. Arrange strips of bacon in a single layer   on the bottom of the pan. Slowly cook the bacon, turning the strips over occasionally until they are nicely browned then lay the cooked strips on a paper towel, chop the cooked bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch pieces.
• Evenly spread the bacon in the dish
• Top the bacon evenly sliced green onions and with the grated gruyere cheese.
• Make the custard mixture by whisking together the milk, half and half, eggs, salt, black pepper. 
• Whisk together the eggs, half & half, salt and pepper.
• Pour the custard into the dish, sprinkle with nutmeg and top with green onion tops chives, bake 35 - 40 minutes, or until the center is set (a knife in the center comes out clean.)
• Allow to cool slightly before cutting the quiche into 6 pieces and serve with salad for lunch or toast or biscuits for breakfast.

Variations

• Plain with no meat or add veggies = broccoli and cheddar cheese, asparagus and bacon,  spinach and sausage, ham and cheddar, seafood and swiss, use your imagination!
• Do not freeze cooked Quiche … if you want to prepare ahead of time to freeze … mix all ingredients in a zip lock bag and freeze, thaw in refrigerator and then bake as directed.
