Hello ladies and gentlemen! Tonight I felt like experimenting a bit. I am a huge fan of quiche – and for those who might not know what that is, it’s like an egg pie. Usually, it has cheese, and either some sort of meat (like bacon) or some sort of vegetable (like spinich or broccoli). It is really good, but so high in fat and cholesterol. I wanted to make a lower fat, lower cholesterol version. It took me about three hours (or at least it seemed like it), and I substituted the following ingrediants:
For eggs, I substituted Egg Beaters, for bacon, I substituted turkey bacon, for cream, I substituted 2% milk, and for shortening in the crust, I substituted Smart Balance (a cholesterol-free, trans-fat free butter substitute).
I’ve never been good at baking, but my guess where I messed up here was trying to make quiche healthy. There is a reason why it is so darn good. It’s not supposed to be healthy. It’s not supposed to be an overly salty, watery, greasy crust egg thing. It’s supposed to be fluffy and rich. Oh well. NO MORE HEALTHY QUICHE! lol
If anyone out there does know how to make quiche healthy, I would be interested in knowing. But, for now, I will just have to have it in moderation….
Peace
