Quiche anyone?

[Puggles]

Mod.edit: this mod. loves quiche! So I moved all 36 posts from 'what did you cook today' thread to new topic (MG).

I've just been grazing on leftovers. I had some leftover quiche earlier. Here's a couple photos (I made it yesterday). It was ham, gouda, gruyere, and veggies. The crust was a little dark on the edges but it was really tasty.

Later I had some Panda Express teriyaki chicken, then a small piece of leftover ribeye steak.

Isn't quiche one of those dishes you usually need one of those ring things for the crust?

That would be a tart, which is why they are called tart or tartlette pans depending on size.

When you have an outer crust. Mine barely had any edges because of the dish I chose to use. But it didn't taste burnt and was still delicious.

Makes no diff. You can bake a quiche in pretty much anything

Dish looks totally fine and good to me! I often use a similar dish or sometimes a tart case with a removable bottom or a pie dish or baking pan or anything

Yeah quiches can come with or without crust.
I generally use a "closed" dish, so any egg mixture can't escape

Usually called a fritatta.

I was referring to those pie condom things that prevent over baking of the crimped crust part.

I wouldn't say so...
To me, a quiche has cheese in the mix
A fritatta has eggs
But there is a definite overlap.
I may be horribly wrong though

To me a quiche has a crust and a frittata doesn't.

No, not all quiches have cheese. Pretty sure it's the crust or lack thereof. Also, cooking method and vessel. Quiches are usually cooked in a pie pan or some kind of baking vessel. Fritattas are usually cooked in a skillet or similar type pan, as they are started on the stovetop.

I'm aware. But mine didn't have a crimped crust part. It barely had any edge crust.

I suppose I have to find my Larousse and check
But that's for tomorrow

I usually don't have cheese with my quiche either, but it depends on what comes up when I google for my recipe.

So if I make a custardy one in an oven-safe skillet, and throw in some Spanish chorizo…did I just make a quitatilla?
