Chicken, Courgette and Feta Crustless Quiche

During my recent browsing on the internet for recipes to use up leftover chicken, I came across this delicious Chicken and Feta Frittata.
True to form I fiddled a bit, added in some leftover vegetables and thought I would try a crustless quiche rather than a frittata – less eggs, more cream (well, milk) and cooked in the oven.

It got the vote of approval so I made it again, but this time without chicken as we’d eaten all that. Both versions were good.

Just a word of warning – when I called it ‘crustless quiche’ everyone told me that it should have pastry (they are a traditional lot), but when I called it ‘frittata’ everyone was happy!
