- In a small bowl combine ricotta with mozzarella and remaining parmesan.
- Dollop the ricotta all around and top and place tomatoes around the cheese.
- Place foil on the edges of the crust to prevent them from burning.
- Place quiche on cookie sheet and bake on the middle oven rack for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is browned and a knife inserted in center comes out clean.

CRUSTLESS 'QUICHE'
I suppose crustless quiche is a contradiction in terms, like seared ceviche. But if, like me, you sometimes crave what amounts to savory pie filling without the hassle of making an actual crust, this is the way to go. Once you take the crust out of the quiche you not only radically alter the concept but expand its possibilities. You can produce a "quiche" Lorraine by softening onions (lots) in butter or bacon fat, then adding eggs, cooked bacon and cream or half-and-half, and baking it all as you do in the recipe here.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees and set rack in middle of it. Combine all ingredients except butter and beat until well blended.
- Pour into 4 to 6 buttered ramekins (or a buttered gratin or pie plate) and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until almost firm; it should still jiggle just a little in middle. Cool on a rack, then serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure to drain the ricotta cheese well before using it, otherwise the quiche will be too watery.
- If you don't have a quiche pan, you can use a regular pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the phyllo dough so that it doesn't hang over the sides of the plate.
- To make sure the quiche is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
- Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it to set and hold its shape.

Crustless ricotta quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
