Crustless Ricotta Quiche

Recipe found in All Recipes Holiday 2024 and here.

6 large eggs
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, plus leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups baby arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
balsamic vinegar for serving

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish. 

Whisk together eggs, ricotta, and milk in a bowl. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper; pour into the prepared dish. 

Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden on the edges and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, toss together arugula, tomatoes, and oil in a medium bowl. Just before serving, top quiche with arugula mixture. Cut into 4 slices. Garnish with additional basil and pepper and serve with vinegar.

Vegan: Replace eggs with purchased vegan egg substitute as directed on package. Swap out ricotta for a vegan version and replace Parmesan with 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella. Bake until set, about 45 minutes.
 
Make it Meaty: Roast 4 slices prosciutto on a parchment-lined baking sheet until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes at 400°F; drain. Crumble over quiche before serving.
