5 tips to make a quiche without dough

Nothing like a good quiche to make a balanced meal with a green salad. What is more, if there is no dough, it is even lighter, our swimsuits will say thank you! To be sure to succeed every time, here are some tips:

• Butter mold well or line it with baking paper to prevent the preparation from sticking (it's the same principle for a clafoutis).
• Give him a well dressed by incorporating 2 spoons of flour into your traditional quiche machine (egg, milk or cream).
• Season : the egg and milk mixture is good but a little bland, so don't forget to salt, pepper, or even flavor with spices. If nutmeg is often the spice chosen for this kind of preparation, a pinch of curry, turmeric (to bring a nice yellow color) or 4 spices will be perfect to bring a touch of originality to your quiche without dough .
• Embellish the base of your bacon quiche (it is then the basis of the traditional Lorraine quiche which, for the record, does not contain cheese), grated cheese (gruyère, emmental, Comté, cheddar or other cheese of your choice), fresh herbs such as chives, candied onions, pre-cooked or raw vegetables (cherry tomatoes for example do not need pre-cooking) or any other ingredient of your choice.
• Master the cooking : check the cooking of the blade of a knife which must come out without dough on it! If the top colors too much, do not hesitate to cover your quiche without dough with aluminum foil for the end of cooking.
