Experimental Quiche........

I love waking up in the morning and having a great savory breakfast that is homemade.  I always love  a good quiche, but having that every morning isn't going to do very good things to your waist line.  So, I decided to revamp the crust and filling recipe.  There was an unexpected turn, which left my morning of hard work unsatisfied :(

For the crust:

3/4 cup quick cooking dry oats
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2    tbs  ice water

Well, I got this recipe from http://www.myrecipes.com/ and I don't think I will use it again for quiche.  It was very bland!  If I were to use it again I would add a half cup of brown sugar and use it for a fruit tart.  I will be in search for another healthy crust recipe.

For the filling:

2 eggs
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 salt
1/2 pepper
2 cups chopped spinach
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup onions
1/2 cups milk( fat-free)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Strike two, I omitted the Swiss cheese, which I feel left out that extra je ne sais quoi.  What the heck is going on with my quiche?!?!  I would never serve this to anyone!  All the healthy goodness, but no taste.  I will have to go back to the drawing board.  I woke up this morning and executed this dish without doing any altering of the original recipe, strike three.  I am out! 




It didn't taste as good as it looks, till next time.
