Last week, one of my friends asked me what my favorite food was. This was a tough question to answer. I love all sorts of food, although I try to make sure I eat healthily 90% of the time.
He was adamant that I had to choose one food I liked the most. So, in the end, I chose quiche. After I had thought about it, I realized this was the right answer because I never get tired of eating quiche. I’ve loved it since I was a child, and probably eat some type of quiche at least once a week.
That combination of eggs, vegetables, pastry, and sometimes meat means that in my mind at least, quiche is a balanced meal and it contains so many of the things I love to eat. I like quiche hot or cold, with salad, with green beans, with French fries, or all on its own. When it comes to eating quiche, I do not discriminate!
Recently I made this crustless quiche I found on allrecipes.com. Because it has no pastry crust, it contains no gluten, so it’s perfect for those people with gluten intolerance.
This quiche has no pastry crust, making it ideal for people with a gluten intolerance. Not sure if you are gluten intolerant? Check out my article How to find out if you are gluten intolerant for more details.
