No crust. No fuss. Just pure magic in a baking dish.
This isn't your Nonna's lasagna—but it is her secret weapon for effortless entertaining. Born from mid-century American ingenuity with Italian soul, this savory custard pie defies physics: as it bakes, the flour and cheese sink to form a golden, crispy "crust" while the eggs and herbs rise into a fluffy, quiche-like filling. One bowl. One dish. Zero stress.
Savory, herb-kissed, and studded with melty mozzarella, it’s the ultimate brunch hero, potluck MVP, or "I have 10 minutes to feed guests" miracle. And yes—it’s actually impossible to mess up.
Why This Recipe Works
→ Self-forming crust – Flour and cheese magically sink during baking (no rolling, no pre-baking)
→ Pantry-to-oven in 15 minutes – Uses staples you likely have on hand
→ Naturally gluten-light – Only ½ cup flour creates structure without heaviness
→ Make-ahead friendly – Tastes even better the next day; reheats beautifully
Perfect For:
• Brunch spreads where you want "wow" without hovering over the stove
• Holiday sides that free up oven space (bakes alongside turkey!)
• Leftover transformation (toss in roasted veggies or cooked sausage)
• Anyone who believes the best recipes feel like kitchen magic
