Crustless Quiche Lorraine

Ingredients

• Olive oil spray
• 1 (6oz package) smoked ham, chopped
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped (2oz)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/8 teaspoon white pepper (black is fine, but speckles will show on the golden quiche)
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 oz gruyere cheese, grated

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with nonstick olive oil spray.
2.Evenly distribute ham and onion on the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
3.In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and peppers. Fold in the grated cheese. Pour the mixture over the ham and onion. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.
4.Bake 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Place the pie plate on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, then invert the quiche onto a platter and back to the rack to cool 10 more minutes before slicing and serving. Quiche will be impossible to cut when piping hot, and it also tastes better after it's cooled a little.
