I made this for dinner tonight using egg substitute. The box said 1/4 cup = 1 egg. However I couldn't fit all of the egg, milk mixture into my 10" pie crust. When I checked the quiche the knife came out clean and it was nicely browned, but it wasn't set as much as I'd like once I cut into it. The flavor was excellent. I used some fresh steamed asparagus that was cooked perfectly in the quiche. I was tempted to add salt and pepper to the egg mixture because the ingredients were so simple, but I am glad I didn't. I think next time I make this I will use real eggs and will update my review as needed. Thanks for a nice spring time meal.

My first love and passion has always been cooking/baking. Even went to school for it. BUt didn't make it my career. In recent years I've discovered a second passion, fitness. So now I'm a certified personal trainer and finding a balance between the two is challenging. Always looking for heathly reicpes or ones I can modity to make heathlier for those who want them. Sometimes even I want a full-fat/full carb meal! Its a balance though. My favorite cook is Racheal Ray.
