Impromptu Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche

There are few things in life that send dread coursing through my very soul more than the words, "Oh crap" followed by a crash.

Today the source of that crash was a full carton of eggs. Darling Boyfriend opened the fridge and they attacked him, most likely because they were afraid of becoming another batch of Deviled Eggs for his pleasure and enjoyment. Luckily four survived the tragedy and were transferred back to their prison...I mean the fridge.

So I now had eight broken eggs and a choice to make: sentence them to the trash can, or turn them into something mouth watering. Well...living La Vita Piccante! After rummaging around the fridge and cabinets for inspiration, I turned them into:

Impromptu Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche

8 eggs
4 oz fat free sour cream
1 c skim milk
1 c cooked ham, chopped (mine is leftover from Easter Dinner :D)
4 oz shredded cheese (I'm going to be honest: mine were string cheese twists of mozzarella and cheddar...oh the shame)
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs dried minced onion
1/2 tsp paprika

1. Spray glass pie dish (or 8X8 glass dish) with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In mixing bowl beat eggs with a wire whisk until frothy, about 3 minutes. Add sour cream, milk, pepper, garlic, onion, and paprika.

3. Stir in ham and cheese.

4. Pour into prepared dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.

5. Allow to sit 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Serves 8.
