October is Dining Month on OnMilwaukee.com. All month, we're stuffed with restaurant reviews, special features, chef profiles and unique articles on everything food. Bon appetit!

When I look at a recipe these days, three questions generally pop into mind:

Will it taste good?

Is it easy to make?

Is it reasonably healthy?

The crustless quiche is a home run on all fronts. I don't mind buying the pre-made quiches at the store, but they're ridiculously expensive and probably not very healthy because of the crust.

The crustless quiche is great because you can put whatever vegetables you want in it and it will still taste great.

Ingredients:
Sautéed vegetables (onions, broccoli, spinach, pepper and zucchini work great)

  • Meat (optional -- turkey bacon / sausage are healthy options)
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¾ pound grated cheese
  • Five eggs, beaten
  • Salt, pepper and herbs
  • One clove garlic

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sautee vegetables in olive oil and arrange at the bottom of a quiche pan. Mix other ingredients together and pour over the vegetables, spreading evenly.

Put the quiche pan on a cookie sheet (for easy removal from oven), bake for 40 minutes until center is firm, top is a golden brown and you can insert a knife and have it come out clean
Let quiche stand a moment and serve warm, cold or at room temperature.
