Breakfast for Dinner?
There is no rule that says breakfast can only be served in the morning. Breakfast for dinner happens often around here!
Simple Crustless Quiche incorporates eggs, meat, veggies and cheese all in one dish. Although it doesn’t have a crust, it has more dairy and is lighter and airier than than a Frittata.
It can be the star of the show or just a player in the game. It is easy to assemble and the leftovers are delicious!

Your recipe looks so YUMMY! Is it possible to use 2% milk instead of heavy cream? I never buy the stuff and we’re all kind of “fluffy” in my house (if you know what I mean)! Thanks!

LOL @ referring to yourself as fluffy, Shelly! This recipe can of course be “lightened up” with 2% milk! Another thing that you can use instead of heavy cream is evaporated milk in the can. I make this all sorts of ways depending on what I have in the house. Let me know how it turns out! ❤️
