The Perfect Dish Any Time of Day
/
This is my second "Life at Lulu's" column for HouseBeautiful -- if you need an effortless dish to impress your guests, then look no further. This crustless quiche will surely have them saying, "Seconds please!"
CRUSTLESS QUICHES
Serves 4
Ingredients
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons minced onion or shallot
- Salt and pepper
- 8 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (your choice), plus more for garnish
- 1 package Boursin cheese
Directions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. When it foams, add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened. Add to a bowl with eggs, cream, herbs, and most of the Boursin. Whisk and pour into buttered six-ounce ramekins, filling each one three-quarters full. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Before the party, set out a toppings bar with a variety of ingredients, like sautéed mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and sliced cherry tomatoes. Let guest top their own ramekins, then back at 350° F until the quiches spring when touched, 15 to 18 minutes. Garnish with the remaining Boursin and fresh herbs.
