Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 bunch green garlic
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie plate with butter or cooking spray.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Cut the potatoes into thin, uniform slices approximately 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer can help achieve consistent thickness.
- Clean the green garlic and trim off the root ends and any wilted green tops. Slice the green garlic thinly, including both the white and light green parts.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and smooth.
- Layer the potato slices in the prepared baking dish, alternating with scattered green garlic slices. Ensure even distribution of ingredients throughout the dish.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and green garlic, making sure all potato slices are mostly covered.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and let the crustless sit for 10 minutes before serving to allow it to set and cool slightly.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm as a side dish or light main course.
Tips
- Slice Consistently: Use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato slices to ensure even cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Fresh is Best: Choose fresh, young green garlic for the most vibrant flavor. The white and light green parts are the most tender and flavorful.
- Grease Generously: Don't skimp on greasing the baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Check for Doneness: The dish is ready when the top is golden brown and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let it Rest: Allow the crustless to sit for 10 minutes after baking. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to add herbs like thyme or rosemary for an extra flavor dimension.
- Serve Versatility: Enjoy as a side dish or a light main course – it's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
