Recommends this recipe

i googled the leftovers i had from easter & this recipe popped up first!

I've never made a quiche or anything along those lines, needed something to do with easter leftovers, thanks to google, i found this. I used leftover asparagus instead of broccoli, chopped sweet onion & easter ham. i used the last of my egg beaters for the potato crust & tossed in the last of some parm/regi cheese & it baked up perfectly. i used a bit more ham, just to get rid of it, chopped my asparagus into bite sized pieces & I tossed some tillamook vintage white cheddar cheese into the mix. I poured on the egg mixture, topped with a bit more cheese & set to bake. I checked about 10 minutes in & my springform pan leaked! I cleaned up what leaked out, cause no one likes the smell of burnt egg & I just mixed a few more eggs up, poured it on & let it bake on. I kept an eye on the center & I was a little worried at first, but it turned out perfect! My dad ate two slices & said I'd found a winner! I agree! I love the flexibility of being able to use what i have on hand!

Pros: easy

Overall this was great and I will make again. The potato crust was weird, odd texture, but good flavor. My husband liked it as well, but suggest that next time we add a spicy kick.

Pros: Easy to prepare,tasty

Make a few subs for delicious

I use more potatoes, skip the flour so its gluten free, add some salt and pepper to the potatoes, substitute in fat free Greek yogurt for the sour cream and use thawed frozen organic spinach instead of broccoli. I also use whatever cheese I have on hand a probably a little extra and onion powder instead of chives when my chives plant is all out. Really easy to make and lovely cut into wedges and eaten all week as a healthy veggie-filled breakfast.

Ok, but needs flavor

I made this for the first time last night and it was ok, but will make several changes next time. The potato crust did nothing for it so next time will omit. I found it to be flavorless overall. I used egg whites instead of substitute and will probably do a 1/2 to half ratio next time - 1/2 whites 1/2 whole egg - to get more flavor. I will probably also use a few tablespoons of bacon pieces instead of the ham, less sour cream, and add some garlic & herb salt substitute.

A bust in our house

Unfortunately, this was a bust in our house. I followed the recipe exactly. I thought it was ok (not great, just ok) but my husband and 9 year old daughter took one bite each and opted not to eat the rest of their serving. My husband is fairly picky and I wasn't surprised when he didn't care for it. My daughter is much more adventurous and LOVES traditional quiche. She did say she might like it more if it had spinach in it instead of broccoli.

Pros: easy to make, healthy
