This Roasted Green Bean Crustless Quiche could easily serve as Dinner or a special weekend Brunch. Either way it is fairly simply to assemble and is packed with a lot of flavor.Roasted Green Bean Crustless QuicheDecisions, decisions on whether it should be a breakfast category or dinner? I guess I’ll just make it both. After all I don’t really want to limit something this tasty to a specific time of day. I think a lot of people like to sometimes have what they consider breakfast items for dinner. I kind of just go with what I’m feeling that day and what I have readily available.

Roasted Green Bean Crustless Quiche is a tasty, healthy quiche that is perfect for brunch or dinner. Vegetarian and Gluten Free.

Of course I like to make sure I include as many good veggies in my day as possible, along with some good protein sources and healthy fats.Roasted Green Bean Crustless QuicheThis is piled high with green beans which kind of takes the place of the crust. When I thought about making this I wasn’t quite sure I was going to get the texture I was looking for. But this recipe for Roasted Green Bean Crustless Quiche exceeded my expectations. Both the flavors and the texture were perfect. It’s kind of similar to a pie when you slice it since it holds together really well and looks as good as it tastes.

I roasted a bag of frozen green beans since that is what I had on hand. You could definitely use fresh green beans if you have some. I just always try to keep frozen veggies in my fridge cause you can keep them around longer. And if you’re like me and don’t ever really know What’s for Dinner tonight it can just make your life a little easier.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to prepare just green beans as a side you may want to try these Garlic and Red Onion Roasted Green Beans.Roasted Green Bean Crustless QuicheRoasted Green Bean Crustless Quiche

Instructions

Notes

* You can use any cheese you like. I like to use Monterey jack cheese because it has nice flavor and melts easily.
You can certainly vary the amount of cheese as well.

    Can I omit the half and half? Or can I substitute for it?
