This is a delicate and very yummy flavored quiche. The zucchini and onions go well together. I like the use of the mild flavored mozzarella. I just added a small measure of salt and pepper. Made this for our evening meal and served with salad and white wine. Wonderful. Thanks Bergy. -
This is a creamy and mild tasting quiche. I really liked it, because you could actually taste the zucchini and onions. I used a mild muenster cheese instead of the mild mozzarella cheese (that's what I had on hand), and it was very good. I also used the Land O Lakes Fat Free Cream in place of the heavy cream, and it worked well in this recipe. Thanks Bergy...it was terrific. It is a keeper. -
This is the exact recipe I found in an old Home Cooking magazine. I made it for lunch today and it was wonderful. The only this I did different was that I put my mozzarella cheese on after I poured the egg misture in and I also topped it with Parmesan cheese. The only problem I had with it was that I used a deep dish pie shell and it ran over quite a bit. I guess I should have used an extra large pie shell. -
To make it low fat I used egg beaters, skim milk, and half and half for cream. It was wonderful. -
This is a very nice quiche. I made it with egg substitute, low fat mozzarella and increased the amount of milk used while decreasing the amount of heavy cream. It came out really well.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
