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 Cons: make sure you're springform pan is in good shape!
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
Great flavors strange crust My family loves quiche. This is the first attempt at one w/ a potato crust. The crust seemed to be more chewy than crunchy once everything was baked up. The flavors of the filling are great though. Will try again just tweak the crust a bit or omit altogether. Pros: Flavors are great Cons: The crust isn't great
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.
Love it I made this for my husband and I as is the first time and we both agreed it needed more flavor. I used real eggs instead of egg substitute. Ever since the first time I add seasoning to the potato crust then add minced onion fresh garlic cajun seasoning and brown the ham a little before mixing it all together. Frozen potatoes work better than refrigerated ones in our opinion...especially for leftovers. My husband loves to eat his with hot sauce usually siracha. Pros: one-dish meal Cons: length of preparation
My husband loved it Made this tonight for my husband who loves quiche and he said he like it better than the full fat version. However the potato crust was flimsy and did not hold up well. I will try cooking it longer next time. Recipe needs a little salt but not much. Pros: Great taste easy to prepare Cons: Potato crust was flimsy
I generally love eating well recipes but this one was blah. No flavor and not worth it for the amount of time it took to prep & cook.
Altered a little but result was amazing! I used real eggs (ended up using a bit more for my version) used shredded sweet potatoes instead of hash browns to be a bit healthier threw my broccoli in a processor for a few spins to get smaller chunks used milk instead of sour cream (no reason just forgot to grab sour cream) and used a muffin tin instead of a round pan. ((See photo for muffin pan during step 2)) My bake time I changed to 20 minutes each cycle @ same temp. This made about 18 regular muffin size servings and still had a little excess sweet potato. LOVE this result and will be repeating!!:D Pros: Easy to follow recipe simple ingredients moist result even after reheat Cons: Don't like the egg substitute or hash browns so used others.
Agree with other reviewers potato crust didn't work and no taste. A shame i was looking forward to it.
