One of the great things about quiche (egg bake for the manly) is that you can put just about anything in it. Having an abundance of wild spring greens makes an easy quiche. We gave up on the crust for quiche a long time ago for two reasons, the unneeded extra carbs and never having crusts readily available when we needed them. Eggs are easy, crusts are not! Once I discovered that if you put some cheese at the bottom of the pan it makes its own crust, that was the end of store bought crusts. This is particularly good served with green Tabasco sauce!

2 cups cheese (8 oz)
