A great quiche that's packed with bits of a variety of fresh summer vegetables, whatever's on hand. The eggs are sweetened with fresh corn, the quiche's crust is thin layers of potato, really good and crispy like good hashed browns. For Weight Watchers, the potato crust adds just 1 point to the quiche, versus 4 or 5 points for a typical pie crust.
Okay, okay, I get it, I finally get it! It really does take extra diligence to manage the constant arrival of new vegetables from a CSA. Week in, week out, it gets hard to keep up. At the end of the week, with another box due too soon, you don't want to still have last week's vegetables hanging around. So this summer I'm extra-keen on recipes that use up bits and pieces of vegetables since often, there's not enough of any one vegetable in each week's delivery to really "cook" on its own, just a small bag of green beans here, a smaller bag of broccoli there.
My master recipe for Homemade Vegetable Soup is a godsend, so is Summer Vegetable Stew and Finnish Summer Soup. But I'm looking for other recipes too, everyday healthy recipes. Like quiche!
"Like quiche, Alanna?" I imagine you questioning. "When did quiche get fast and healthy?" And you are exactly right, a traditional pastry crust adds a time element and calorie addition that makes quiche too time-consuming and too rich for every day. This Crustless Quiche is excellent, but y'know, some times you miss having a quiche crust!
Enter the potato crust. It's healthy – and uses the potatoes which have been in the last two CSA deliveries!
