We had the most perfect weather this Memorial Day weekend. I wish it could be like this year-round on the east coast but it’s definitely starting to heat up and it won’t be the perfect 70’s weather soon. I can’t complain, though, because I was looking at weather in Arizona and they have been having temps of 106 and above. Granted, it’s dry heat, but oh man..just thinking of that makes me sweat! I’ll be headed to Scottsdale on Friday and I looked at the forecast for the weekend…just a balmy 100 degrees. Ya know, nothing to it :P

Anyway, we spent the majority of our weekend with friends eating and hanging out outside, of course. We all had this song stuck in our heads and on repeat pretty much the entire evening. It’s SO catchy. BUT – don’t you think it sounds like Gwen Stefani? Like her bananas song? When I first heard this song at barre, I totally thought it was Gwen.

Did you do anything nice this Memorial Day weekend? Was the weather nice enough for you to go outside and soak it all up?

I know that this could basically be called a frittata but ‘crustless quiche’ sounded way better in my head ;)

This is such a perfect brunch dish that can easily serve a crowd if you had other side dishes. This would definitely stand out as the star, though! It presents well and who doesn’t love that bacon topping?!

    1. hi, in America, half and half is a carton sold in the refrigerated section that contains a mixture of cream and milk. you can just replace with milk or heavy cream if you prefer.

  1. Nice easy to follow recipe. I had breakfast sausage and a 12″ cast iron skillet. I cooked the sausage, took it out, added a chopped red onion (no shallot) and sauteed that in the drippings. I added mushrooms and then the spinach and then followed your excellent advice to let that stuff sit for 10 minutes. I did that and let the stuff drain even further. I had a bunch of sour cream so I subbed that for the half and half. I used shredded monterey jack and parmesan. Your other piece of advice that I followed was to mix everything together. My inclination from making quiches over the years was to layer. But I used your technique to great success! So I recommend baking this stuff in the skillet you saute everything in. One less pan to wash! I’ll be using this recipe again.

  2. I made this using the exact recipe and it was delicious! I brought some over to a friend’s house and they loved it too.

  3. Was awesome and everyone loved it. Added dill, extra thyme and celery. Didn’t use Parmesan, used marble cheese melted on top instead.
