My first Quiche

[ozark hen]

Thanks to Miss Prissy............I found an old posting of her recipe for Quiche! This was my first one. I do not add salt when using ham, as I did in this recipe. Yes, I did use minced garlic, no it was not over-powering. It had cottage cheese on the bottom and then layered spinach, ham, cooked onion, and cheddar cheese (mild). All the flavors blended beautifully. I tend to "tamper" with recipes to make them mine so there was a little deviation.

Oh my!! That is one good looking quiche! I make them fairly often and would make them more often if they weren't so darned fattening...sigh...

My mouth is.....that looks so good .. I want some ...now I have to make one, can I make them in muffin pans? Can I freeze them too? I would be the only one that would eat them here.

We make frittatas to cut the calories - basically, a quiche with no crust (most of the fat and calories are in the crust). Also go a little easy on the cheese as it adds to the fat and calories. LOL....but you gotta have some cheese for it's flavor.

Make an individual quiche or frittata by cutting the recipe ingredients to 1/4 - build in an individual casserole dish or large ramikin. Baking time will be much shorter, half or maybe only 1/3 the minutes.

I make mine without the crust - it cuts out some of the calories.

You're welcome. Here's one I have posted that's baked in a custard cup, a ramikin would work fine.

Single Serving Cheese Puff - only calls for eggs & cheese, but some veggies would be a good add-in.
