I need help making a crustless quiche/fritata using potatoes on the bottom?!
My mom made some type of crustless quiche once!. I remember she lined the pan with sliced potatoes that had been sauteed in a little bacon grease!. The bacon crumbles went into the egg batter with the rest of the veggies and was poured over the top!. Does this sound good to anyone else!? Do you think it would work!? I dont' have an exact recipe if you want to post something similar for me to get inspiration from!. :) Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Oh yeah! That will be tasty!. Do this in an oven safe pan so that you can get the top to "set" in the oven!. Cook the potatoes all the way before adding any topping!. Save some of those bacon crumbles to sprinkle on the top too!. Some cheese might be nice on top too depending on what you use inside!.
For veggies, try spinach and tomato; or just onion; or onion and asparagus tips; or zucchini slices!. Your imagination is the only limit on this one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes just make sure your potatoes are cooked beforehand because you don't want raw potatoes in your quiche!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
