Hi Everyone,
Soo my boyfriend said jokingly the other day after tea at his mother’s ‘if you can master homemade quiche I will marry you’!
So if anybody has some good quiche recipes I would love to see them! Open to any suggestions, low cal alternatives or indulgent treats.
Thank you in advance 

    My mother has a good recipe that she makes in tart shells (all homemade). I'll see if I can get the recipe from her. I wish I knew how to tag a post so I can come back to this post easily. Lol.

    My husband and kids looked at me strangely when I started making quiche and now you'll hear them ask 'why haven't you made any quiche lately?"

    I use this recipe - and when I can, I swap items for 'less fattening ones" or will swap out 1 egg for egg white instead - turkey breast instead of ham.

    You can cut calories by using a pizza base mix or filo pastry instead of shortcrust.

    A Reuben is made with corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese on toasted rye bread with Thousand Island dressing. They're scrumptious! Not good for dieting, but we all need to treat ourselves once in awhile. If this still sounds good to you, I'll be sure to get you the recipe for the quiche. :smile:

    Make the base in filo pastry, and use a lower fatter stronger tasting cheese, fill your quiche with the good stuff them mushrooms and tomato's and chicken low fat butchers trimes ham/bacon and remove all the fat out of it and stuff :) and use lean meat :) should win his heart over, use his favourite flavours you could always have a bash at mini different flavours. also filo pastry is thin so it has to be layered asif your making a fruit parfay case :)

    Sorry it took so long...I loaned my book to my mother-in-law, and just picked it up.

    Quick Reuben Quiche

    1 nine inch frozen pie shell
    2/3 cup chopped corned beef
    1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
    1 C. shredded Swiss cheese
    3 eggs
    1 cup evaporated milk
    1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

    Heat oven to 375 degrees and place a cookie sheet on middle rack. Spread chopped corned beef on bottom of pie shell. Top with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. Beat eggs with milk and mustard. Pour into pie shell and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until filling is nicely browned. Serves 3-4

    Hope you and your man enjoy it!

    I love quiches. Especially with the crust. But yeah... hello calories.

    If you want to make your own, I loved this one http://www.katheats.com/vegetable-quiche-with-homemade-crust (I just did the crust from there and made my own filling).

    My favorite combination is ham, bacon, swiss, onions, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk and 200g of egg whites (would be awesome with heavy cream and just eggs, but yeah. With the crust above it was already over 600 calories for 1/4 of the quiche).

    Broccoli, ham, cheddar, onions is great (with my usual 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk and 200g of egg whites)
    Peppers, onions, sausage (same eggs/egg whites/milk)
    Spinach, feta, onions - I like this better with just egg whites
    Spinach, goat cheese, smoked salmon - same, I like it better with just egg whites

    I did spinach, tomatoes and mozzarella once but it was a bit soggy. I still have issues getting veggies dry enough, especially tomatoes.

    I love quiche!!! The other day a friend told me they were serving it in the line and I mindlessly walked there and got me a piece. I almost choke on it whe I saw it had more than 750 lovely calories. Are there any low calorie alternatives, I don't like the crust just the delicious filling!
