Crustless Cheese Quiche

This is my favorite recipe for quiche.  It only has 1/2 cup of flour in the whole quiche and it is so good.  Much healthier than the version with a pie shell, and I like it better.  We like it with beets.  I forgot to add the tomatoes and olives before I took the picture. This picture was taken the second day.  This is one piece of the other half of the pie. I warmed it in the microwave for 1 min. 45 seconds.
