Looking for a dish that’s easy to whip up, yet undeniably satisfying? This sour cream and chive crustless quiche might just be the answer. It’s creamy, fluffy, and packed with the classic flavor combination of tangy sour cream and aromatic chives. Plus, it’s totally customizable if you have any extras you’d like to throw in (crumbled sausage or bacon, anyone?). Let’s get started!

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 35 minutes
  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly chopped chives, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (optional for added color)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with the unsalted butter or oil.
  2. Mix the Base (5 minutes): While the oven is preheating, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and milk or heavy cream until smooth in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add Ingredients (3 minutes): Fold in the cheddar cheese, chopped chives, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine. If using, fold in the diced red bell pepper.
  4. Pour and Bake (30-35 minutes): Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and slightly golden on top.
  5. Cool and Serve (10 minutes): Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Garnish with additional chives on top before slicing and serving.

Notes

Nailing this quiche is all about the simplicity of its ingredients. If you want a creamier texture, opt for heavy cream instead of milk. The beauty of a crustless quiche is its versatility – you can easily throw in other veggies or cheeses you have on hand. Serve this dish with a side salad or fruit for a complete meal and enjoy!

Pair this with...

Home Fries

Grab a couple of good ol' russet potatoes, and cut them into bite-sized cubes. A quick tip: to ensure even cooking, try to keep those cubes roughly the same size. In a large skillet, heat a mix of butter and oil (they’re a match made in heaven for flavor and crispiness). Toss in your potato cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden. For an extra layer of yum, consider adding diced onions and bell peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and maybe a sprinkle of paprika or garlic powder for a kick. Cook until the potatoes are crispy outside but soft inside.

Strawberry Smoothie

You'll need about 1 cup of fresh strawberries (or frozen if you've got 'em), 1/2 a banana to add creaminess, 1 cup of your favorite milk (almond, cow’s, soy – whatever floats your boat), and a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sugar for a touch of sweetness. Optional: a dollop of yogurt for added richness and probiotics. Pop everything into your blender, give it a whirl until it's silky smooth, and pour into a chilled glass. If you're feeling a tad adventurous, toss in a handful of oats or your choice of protein powder for an extra kick.

Fresh Mixed Greens Salad

Start with a base of mixed greens, combining varieties like arugula, spinach, romaine, or any leafy greens you love. Slice up a handful of cherry tomatoes for a burst of juiciness. Next, peel and shave or thinly slice a carrot for a sweet and crunchy addition. Now, here's where you get to be creative. Raid your fridge for veggies – maybe some leftover bell peppers, slices of cucumber, or even some steamed broccoli or green beans. Toss them all into your salad. Drizzle with your favorite vinaigrette or dressing, give it a good mix, and you've got a vibrant, crunchy, and fresh salad that goes well with just about any meal.
