Who doesn’t love a quiche, especially one that needs only 10 minutes prep. With this clever recipe, there’s no need for pastry. Instead, the flour and butter fall to the base of the dish creating a thin crust that encases the cheesy eggy filling. That’s not all - you get to choose your own adventure when it comes to the fillings. So feel free to use whatever vegetables or deli meats you have on hand.
How to make this easy quiche: key tips
The most important tip when making this easy quiche is to make sure you whisk your wet and dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms (as you want to avoid lumps). The best way to do this is by placing the flour in a mixing bowl and then slowly whisk in the remaining ingredients. Spray your quiche dish with spray oil or grease with butter before pouring in the mixture.

Recipe Notes
What is an impossible pie?
An impossible pie is a pie that separates into layers while cooking, giving the illusion that there was more than one later all along! This quiche is an example of an impossible pie because your flour and butter will fall to the bottom of the dish to encase the cheesy filling.
Do you have any recommendations when it comes to fillings?
For filling, try bacon and onion or leek and mushroom - chopped finely, fried in the butter in a frypan and cooled before adding to mixture. You can also try diced chicken breast cooked in butter in a frypan until golden, and corn kernels. Cool fillings before adding to the mixture.
