Don’t you just long for those meals that you can put together without really thinking about them?

Those are MY personal favorites. Easy, no effort, not even much planning required … dare I say lazy? Nah, let’s not go there, mmmmmkay? 😉

That’s what quiche is to me … and one of the reasons why we eat it almost weekly. (Oh, and because I make a pie crust, like, once a year, my quiches are almost always crust-less.)

Since we eat quiche so often, it’s important to keep it interesting. I don’t want my family to catch on to my master plan of having quiche so often because it basically requires no thinking or planning on my part. 😉

Adding different veggies or switching up the cheeses is one way to keep it varied.

When I really want to focus on getting more veggies into my peeps, I make this Crust-less Rainbow Quiche.

When I’m feeling especially tired and don’t want to chop veggies, I simply add bacon or sausage and cheese.

When I’ve got an abundance of something like asparagus or kale, I make that the focus of the quiche.

Seriously, once you’ve got a basic formula, the possibilities truly are endless.

Pepperoni Pizza Crust-less Quiche is just another way I’m keepin’ it interesting. Because who doesn’t love pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasonings?

This quiche is super stuffed full of veggies, but because of the awesome pizza flavors, the pickiest of eaters won’t mind; I almost guarantee it.

My family completely devoured this in one setting — otherwise, I love to save leftover quiche for a quick, effortless breakfast the next day! We’ll eat quiche any time of day, not just for breakfast. And when the fuss of a pie crust isn’t involved, quiche isn’t a chore at all!
