Crustless Quiche: Chipotle Chicken

Make a double batch of this savory egg pie on Sunday morning. Serve a dozen for breakfast or brunch, and store the rest for lunches and suppers throughout the week; warm them in the microwave whenever you’re ready. Add creaminess and texture by spooning fresh avocado tossed in quick Dill Vinaigrette right on top. And turn a pair of portions into a meal for one with a simple green salad and hunk of crusty bread on the side.

chipotle chicken crustless quiche directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place liners in a large muffin tin.
2. Dice the chicken breast ino small pieces; place in a small bowl. Mix the diced chicken with the chipotle peppers.
3. In a big mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, chives, salt & pepper.
4. To assemble the quiches, place the diced chicken in the bottom of the muffin tins, making sure not to add the chipotle peppers to the tins (because they’ll crowd the tin and they won’t break down during the cooking process).
5. Next, add a pinch of the Swiss cheese.
6. Finally, pour the egg mixture over the chicken and cheese until each muffin tin is 3/4 of the way filled. Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until the egg mixture is cooked.
7. When the center of the quiches are set, remove from the oven and let cool. Peel away the liners and serve while still hot.
