Start with a combination of all or some of the following:
1 Tbs. onion, diced fine
5 bacon slices, fried and crumbled
1/4 c. zucchini, chopped fine
1/2 red pepper, chopped
1/2 can of artichokes, chopped
1 fresh tomato, chopped
Saute your selection of veggies/meat, set aside.
Combine:
3 eggs, beaten
1 can coconut milk (OR 1 1/2 c. whipping cream)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. fresh spices, or 1 tsp. dried
In the bottom of a pie crust (I just use Tender Flake, but if you feel like making your own, go for it!), sprinkle 3/4 c. your choice of cheese (feta, swiss, cheddar, or cheese substitute). Add sauteed veggies. Top with egg mixture.
Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, 350 for 30 minutes, or until it "doesn't juggle". Sprinkle salt on top, and pair it with a green salad. Great for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.
I love me some quiche... and have one in the freezer! Whipping cream must be the restaurant secret. :) We use evaporated milk and it IS tasty... but I can only imagine how much more rich the cream would make it... YUM!
ReplyDeleteDelicious!!! Thanks for inspiring me to try something new & healthy Ami! I loved it with the coconut milk. I've already got the second one in the oven as Joel desperately wants to have some for a late night supper when he gets home :)
