Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche (GAPS-friendly, grain- and gluten-free)

This quiche recipe is easy to prepare, and the whole family will love it!  The eggs, ham, cheese, and spices meld to create such a rich flavor. It makes a great, simple breakfast, or can be paired with a side salad for a nice lunch or dinner. Leftovers can be warmed in the toaster oven later in the week for easy meals.

Ham and Cheese Crustless Quiche
8 eggs, preferably from pastured hens
1/2 cup milk (use milk kefir or yogurt for GAPS)
1/2 cup cream (use sour cream for GAPS)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped ham
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (or 1/3 tsp dried thyme)
1/4 tsp celtic sea salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 Tb butter, for greasing pie plates

Generously grease two 9-inch pie plates. Combine all other ingredients in medium bowl and use a fork to whip it all together.  Pour egg mixture into buttered pie plates.  Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the center of the quiche is set and the edges are slightly browned.  Cool slightly, and serve!
