Today Reid turned 25 and his favorite food is quiche!!! I have done quiche 1,000 times because of that, but needed a new take for New Food February. Here are 3 fun takes on the idea of quiche. All 3 are gluten free. Only one is dairy free.
Bacon Spinach Potato Quiche 1 GF Crust (or regular if you are not gluten free) 3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled 1 cup fresh spinach leaves 4 baby potatoes sliced to 1/8 inch 1 cup dairy free cheese ( or regular if you are not off dairy) 1/3 onion chopped and sauteed 4 eggs 1 cup milk, or milk substitute (our favorite is Ripple pea milk- very creamy) Preheat oven to 400. Slice potatoes on a mandolin to make it easier. Boil in water for about 3 minutes to soften potatoes. Layer crust with potato slices, bacon, and spinach. Sprinkle with sauteed onions Cover with cheese. Mix eggs and milk. Cover a baking sheet with foil and set pie crust on foil. Slowly pour egg mixture over quiche. Bake 30-40 minutes Until eggs in center are firm. Apple Fennel Sausage Quiche with a Sweet Potato Crust 1 small sweet potato peeled and sliced in 1/8 inch slices Cooking spray 1 apple cut in 1/2 inch chunks 1/2 a 1 lb tube sausage- your choice 1 fennel bulb sliced thin 1/2- 1 cup cheddar cheese 4 eggs 1 cup milk or milk substitute Preheat oven to 400. Spray deep dish pie pan with cooking spray. Slice sweet potato on mandolin. Line potato slices around pie dish to cover bottom and sides. The potatoes will shrink so make sure you're well covered. Spray potatoes with cooking spray. Bake for around 5-10 minutes to soften potatoes. Let cool on a foil lined baking dish. Brown sausage in a pan on the stove. Set aside. Reheat pan. Add olive oil. Saute fennel until it starts to soften. Add apples. Let the 2 get a little bit brown and caramelized. Layer sausage in pie dish over sweet potato crust. Add fennel/apple mixture. Cover with cheddar cheese. Mix eggs and milk beat until combined. Slowly pour over the quiche. Bake 30-40 minutes until eggs are firm in the middle. Personal Quiches in 1/2 a Roasted Pepper 2 sweet peppers- we used orange and red 1 cup broccoli- chopped and steamed (great use for leftover broccoli) 1/2 cup onions- chopped and sauteed 2 tablespoons chopped herbs- your choice (we used basil, fennel, mint, thyme) mozzarella cheese grated 3 eggs 1/2 cup milk or substitute Preheat oven to 400. Slice peppers in half long ways. Pick out seeds and membranes. Maintain stems. Line them up in a foil lined pan. Fill pepper shells with broccoli, onions herbs and cheese. Beat the eggs and milk together. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pepper shells. Bake for about 15 minutes until eggs are set. All 3 of these were great, but the Apple Sausage one was amazing!!!!

AuthorI'm not a chef. I have no training. I just really like food. I grew up eating processed food and over time, as a grown up, decided I wanted to cook the kinds of foods I got in restaurants. I have one problem. The doctor put me on a low sodium diet. You'll find there very little if any salt/sodium in this recipes. Just add to your own taste. I will probably do things wrong/differently on this website, but hopefully we'll all learn from each other! Archives
