Use It or Lose It "Crustless" Quiche
with Herbs de Provence
This easy quiche recipe is for those times you need to use up things in your refrigerator. I prefer a quiche without a traditional crust because the batter settles into the filling for a heartier piece of quiche. Use a 10 inch pie plate for this recipe. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Ingredients
Crust:
1 cup flour
1 ½ tsp baking power
¼ tsp salt
1 TBSP melted butter
Quiche Filling:
2 cups milk
4 large eggs
Salt, pepper
1-2 TBSP Herbs de Provence seasoning
1 - 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese - a blend of whatever you have works great
1 small onion chopped or a sprinkle of dried onion flakes
Salt and pepper
Use 2 TOTAL cups of any of the following fillings (over-filling will result in a mess in your oven as the batter overflows)
Cubed ham, bacon pieces, or sausage pieces to fill the bottom of the pie plate
1-2 cups of leftover veggies like broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, tomatoes, etc
-
Mix together all the ingredients for the crust. Set aside.
-
Thoroughly grease a 10 inch pie pan.
-
Layer your pie pan with quiche fillings. Start with veggies and meats on the bottom.
-
Next, sprinkle cheese on top of the veggies and meats.
-
Last, combine eggs, salt, pepper, and milk. Blend well.
-
Add your crust mix to the egg mix. The batter will be a bit lumpy.
-
Pour the egg batter over the quiche so that it fills in all the spaces around the fillings.
-
Sprinkle the entire quiche generously with Herbs de Provence.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a fork inserted in the middle comes out clean.
-
Cool for 10 minutes before serving.


Salmon with Herbs de Provence
This salmon recipe is very easy and delicious! As long as you have lemon, olive oil, and pepper in your kitchen, you can swap out ingredients without buying special infused olive oil. This recipe has lots of flavor and seasonings - maybe go light on the spices until you determine your preferred taste.
Ingredients
1 - 2 pounds of salmon (skin off or on)
1-2 TBSP Herbs de Provence
Lemon infused olive oil (can be substituted for plain olive oil and lemon juice, separately)
1 Tsp Pepper (or lemon pepper if you have some in your cupboard)
-
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
-
Coat a 9 X12 baking pan with plain or lemon-infused olive oil.
-
Brush your salmon on both sides with the lemon olive oil. (Or brush with plain olive oil).
-
Place the salmon in the pan - skin side down.
-
Sprinkle with lemon juice if using plain olive oil (about 2 TBSP).
-
Sprinkle the salmon with pepper or lemon pepper.
-
Sprinkle generously with Herbs de Provence.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the salmon is flakey and light. Do not overbake.
