Asparagus Quiche
Total Ingredients: 10
We love the rich taste of a classic quiche with a fraction of
the fat. The technique to accomplish this is to make the
crust with thinly sliced potatoes and bake them to crisp
perfection. It's a heart-smart substitute for traditional piecrust!

this sounds like a yummy quiche!
Oo, yum! I haven't had quiche FOREVER..I can't even remember the last time. I love that it's heart-smart too! Thanks for sharing the yummy recipe & your birthday wishes are always so sweet! =) Happy Friday!
Pamela: Your site is very pretty and I'll be back to check out your recipes. That quiche looks yummy.
I love quiches. For sure I will try your recipe.
Have a nice Friday
Ooh, I saw this recipe a little too late. I made a ham and cheese quiche for brunch this morning. Your dish sounds delicious.
I wish we loved aspargus...alas we don't...but I do love quiche!!
:-D
Tammy, I am positive you could substitute the asparagus with broccoli, or even bacon if calories don't matter. We love Quich and I make Quiche quite often! :)
you know me, I am trying this recipe specially since it is a low fat recipe
Oh now this looks SO yummy, and I love quiche with a passion, so I'm grabbing this!!!
Happy Birthday too, to Jerry.
Thanks for the visit...and yes, I totally understand the fear and anxieties of having a child in the Marines....our son was in Infantry during the Gulf War. We need military, and we are certainly a proud Corps....but oh to NOT have wars. It be an easier world for us parents of Marines!!!
Oh Pamela, I love quiche..here you'll get to eat it in western restaurants or hotels only..which make it an expensive meal. With this recipe, I can try myself but feeling a bit lazy now! LOL...
Thank you so much for the sweet birthday wishes Pamela. I look forward to spending a bit of time with you every day. I don't know what I would do if I suddenly found myself "computerless".
The quiche sounds sooo good, however it looks a little tricky for those of us who are a bit "cooking challenged". I just may try it though, because my cholesterol is sky high - and because I think it will be delicious!
Pam, thank you for remember my old man (hubby)'s birthday !
He wasn't too happy about being 46 !?
What a brilliant idea to use thinly sliced potatoes for the crust!! I'll copy this down and file it as a "must try" recipe:-) Happy Birthday to Linda and your brother in law!!! Have a wonderful weekend Pamela:-) xox
Wendy, tell him he is the same age as I am and he better like it! hehe! Tell him that his little 4 year old son Wilson will keep him young! lol
This dish has some of my favorite ingredients. It's a must-try!
I've never made a quiche, but I've always wanted to. Now I have a tried and true recipe to try. Thanks!
I like how you list the total ingredients at the top of your post. :)
Thanks for participating in my Five Ingredient Friday recipe exchange.
I love asparagus. This sounds wonderful!
