Crustless Cheese Quiche - Weekend Recipe

This weekend the recipe I choose is one you can make for breakfast or brunch.  Perfect to have on a nice fall day on the back porch. You don't have to worry about a crust and it is richly tasty.  You can also make it ahead and freeze it to enjoy later.

Crustless Cheese Quiche

7 large eggs

5 large egg yolks

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup half-and-half cream

1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

2 tablespoons finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

1-1/2 teaspoons Backyard Patch salt-free Fines Herbes seasoning blend or Herby Salt Substitute

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine eggs, egg yolks, whipping cream, half-and-half, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, seasoning blend and basil; pour into a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.

Bake 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Freeze option: Securely wrap individual portions of cooled quiche in plastic and foil; freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap quiche; reheat in oven until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.
