    I just take basic quiche recipes and substitute low-fat milk (reg milk, soymilk, whatever kind) and low-fat cheese. :flowerforyou:

    I switched from quiche (with a crust and the milk) to a fritta.
    Everyone that has tried it, calls it quiche and loves it.
    Variety is up to you.
    8" pan use 3-4 eggs
    10" pan use 5-6 eggs
    use either olive oil or butter flavor spray
    spray the pan well and heat to hot, but not burning the spray
    add in your chopped onion, peppers (any color, I like to use 2-3 red, yellow, green)
    (amounts of each depend on test - total 3/4 c to 1 c - based on pan size)
    add a sprinkle of kosher or sea salt (helps to release the mositure and add flavor)
    saute, as needed spray with oil subsitute (or I can't believe it's not butter spray)
    when veggies are still firm but done
    add 1/3 - 1/2 c chopped tomato (add pepper - I normal use lemon pepper)
    add a handful or two baby spinage and still and saute until it begins to wilt
    add whipped eggs (I like to add in some parsley flakes and/or some chives)
    cook until the eggs are almost set
    place pan into a pre-heated 350 oven and let finish cooking (15 mins, check every 5-7)
    the mixture puffs up, gets a nice light brown color on top
    let sit about 5 mins before cutting or removing
    I use a good non-stick pan with an over safe handle (lol)
    it slides right out of the pan
    for company I slide it onto a plate
    serve with salsa

    As you can tell this is a base
    my measurements are approx as I do not measure for anything except cakes or bread
    This is soooo good, can be changed to meet your taste
    (broccoli instead of spinage or aspagarits)
    I apoligize for the mis-spelled words... it's 5:49am and I'm just not looking them up right now)

    good luck
    have fun
    if you want meat.. so many tasty choices

    Spinach, Green Onion, and Smoked Gouda Quiche

    Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
    Total: 2 Hours, 36 Minutes


    Ingredients

    Crust:
    6 tablespoons butter, softened
    2 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 large egg yolk
    5 3/5 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
    Filling:
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
    3 cups fresh baby spinach
    1 cup 1% low-fat milk
    3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated smoked Gouda cheese
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    Dash of grated nutmeg
    3 large eggs
    Preparation

    1. To prepare crust, place butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Combine milk, salt, and egg yolk in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add milk mixture to butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour; beat just until combined. Press mixture into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap; cover. Chill for 1 hour.

    2. Preheat oven to 350°.

    3. Unwrap and place chilled dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 10-inch circle. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze 15 minutes. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool.

    4. To prepare filling, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add spinach; sauté 2 minutes.

    5. Combine 1 cup milk and remaining ingredients in a bowl; stir well with a whisk. Stir in spinach mixture. Pour filling into crust. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes. Cut into 10 wedges.

    I always use the 2-2-2 recipe for quiche:

    2 cups milk (skim works well)
    2 eggs
    2 tablesspoons of flour

    Mix in any combo of fillings (veggie is best), pour into a pie pan (with or without crust ... use non stick spray if no crust) and bake on 350 degrees for approximately an hour.
