This was advertised online as a crustless caramelized onion quiche. It seemed more like the frittata I recently posted about.
I'm thinking that maybe a crustless quiche is just another name for a frittata.
This was a first run through using the oven instead of the smoker. Next time we will move to the smoker.
My last frittata was made from egg whites and almond milk. It required that the egg whites be whipped a bit to provide some volume.
https://pelletfan.com/index.php?topic=7451.0This recipe is more conventional using a mixture of whole eggs, egg whites and Greek yogurt. That gave it some rise and a nice spongy feel.
The long step was the 30 minutes to caramelize the onions. After that it was pretty easy. We added about half the spinach that the recipe called for (since that is all we had) and replaced the missing spinach with shredded zucchini.
You can put just about anything you want in these. Next time we'll add some grape tomatoes, shredded carrots and peppers.
Nonfat mozzarella was added inside. Additional mozzarella and fresh basil leaves were added on top 5 minutes before the "quiche" was done.
The quiche turned out really fluffy. It was definitely more substantial than the egg white frittata.
Smoking should give this a very nice flavor.
A key step was cooking the spinach ahead of time to eliminate a lot of the water. We did the same with the zucchini but no water came off. We did not do that with the egg white frittata which added some unwanted water to the mix.
This is an essential step.
