A Touch of History
Quiche has deep roots in culinary tradition, being a dish that combines eggs with various ingredients such as meat, vegetables, or cheese in a delicious crust. Over time, the recipe has evolved, and today crustless versions, like this one, bring a touch of modernity and health. This chicken quiche recipe is not only simple but also offers a multitude of customization possibilities based on individual preferences.

Necessary Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 220 g cooked and finely chopped chicken breast
- 200 ml liquid cream
- 5 tablespoons grated cheese
- 100 g grated cheese (a flavorful option is sheep cheese)
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste diluted with a little water
- Salt, pepper, basil (fresh or dried)
- Dried green onion (optional)
- Paprika for sprinkling on top

Preparing Chicken Quiche Cubes

Step 1: Preparing the Mixture
In a large bowl, whisk the 5 eggs well with a whisk or fork until fluffy. Add the liquid cream and mix vigorously to combine the ingredients. Next, add the grated cheese, diluted tomato paste, dried onion, salt, pepper, and basil. Mix everything until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Step 2: Assembling the Quiche
Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat). Grease a baking dish with oil or butter to prevent the quiche from sticking. Pour half of the egg mixture into the dish, ensuring it spreads evenly. Then, sprinkle the finely chopped cooked chicken on top.

Step 3: Baking
Pour the remaining egg mixture over the chicken, making sure it is distributed evenly. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the quiche is firm and lightly golden on top.

Step 4: Finishing
After the baking time has passed, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle grated cheese and a pinch of paprika on top. Place the dish under the oven's broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden.

Step 5: Serving
Allow the quiche to cool slightly, then cut it into cubes. These cubes can be garnished with fresh herbs or a yogurt and dill sauce for extra flavor. Serving these quiche cubes with a fresh salad will add a touch of freshness to the dish.

Practical Tips for a Perfect Result
- Ingredients: Use high-quality eggs, preferably organic, for a richer flavor. Chicken can be replaced with turkey or even vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace the chicken with vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for a different taste.
- For a Crunchy Touch: You can add a few slices of bacon or bacon bits on top before placing the dish in the oven.
- Customized Flavors: Add olives or finely chopped bell peppers to the egg mixture for an extra flavor boost.
