Spinach, Ham And Cheese Custard
Spinach, Ham And Cheese Custard main dish, ham 4 cups cooked frozen spinach; drained well, and packed 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 tablespoon butter Salt; to taste Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste 1 pound thinly-sliced ham 1/4 pound provolone cheese 1/4 pound mozzerella cheese 1/4 cup grated parmesean cheese 1/2 cup ricotta cheese 1 3/4 cups heavy cream; divided 6 eggs Butter an 8- to 9-inch round baking dish 4 to 5 inches high, and place a buttered round of brown paper on the bottom of the dish. Squeeze moisture out of the spinach; chop. In a saute pan, cook the chopped onions until wilted in the oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Add spinach, raise heat to high, and stirring constantly, cook until moisture is evaporated. Season and set aside. Cut the ham into 1-inch wide strips, cook until lightly browned in the remaining butter; set aside. Grate provolone and mozzerella and combine with the parmesean. Puree the ricotta with 1/2 cup of the cream. Beat the eggs, then mix with remaining 1 1/4 cup cream; season to taste. Place 1/3 of the grated cheeses into the bottom of the baking dish. Drizzle some of the custard mixture on top. Place 1/3 of the ham slices across the cheese, drizzling a little custard mixture in among them. Place 1/3 of the spinach on the ham; coat with custard. Repeat the layering twice, pouring custard on each layer (the custard holds the layers together). Top with waxed paper and foil. Place in a baking pan, pour boiling water halfway up sides of the dish, and bake for 1 hour in a pre- heated 350 degree oven. Turn up heat to 400 degrees and bake 30 minutes longer. Uncover for last 10 minutes. Allow more time if you use a higher dish. When the custard sides have come away from the edges of the dish, and when the center tests dry, the custard is done. Place on a rack for 15 to 20 minutes before unmolding onto a serving platter. This recipe yields 12 servings; 6 carb grams per serving. Comments: If you omit the water bath, the bottom becomes brown, but the flavor stays the same. Use a combination of meats, such as ham, salami, pepperoni. Make a spectacular buffet dish by doubling the ingredients and making 6 layers. For thicker layers, repeat two rather than three times. Serve with a dollop of sour cream as garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped herbs.

I love quiche but haven't had any since being diagnosed T2 -- I'm following South Beach plus no pasta, rice, potatoes, or flour. With "no flour," that has also meant "no quiche" for me. MaryL |

You can make any quiche recipe you like.
Just pour the filling into a greased pie pan... no crust. I would use a bain marie ( a water bath) to cook it so the sides don't burn.

I cook a lot of quiche fillings via the microwave. Or I cook the filling
slowly on low heat in an iron skillet like you would a souffle. And I haven't used (or eaten) any crust for some time. Microwave or skillet... both are quicker than the oven. And it also depends on the filling recipe and which cooking method I think will work better.
