Why is crustless quiche as indulgent as the traditional recipe?
If you thought a quiche necessarily needed a crust beneath the filling, you’re mistaken. This version is much lighter and more “digestible” than the classic quiche with a shortcrust pastry (or puff pastry for some). And in the end, it’s just as simple and quick to make! The advantage is that it’s flour-free, hence gluten-free. Perfect for people with allergies or intolerances! The texture is somewhat reminiscent of a custard or flan, and you can imagine hundreds of recipes. And this leek and bacon version is perfect to please everyone at the table tonight.
