Zen and the art of Quiche







You do not need a crust, but it can be nice to eat.
    • Coconut flour (or pastry four) mixed with butter and pressed in to a pan works good. Toast it a bit before adding the egg mixture. AND DRAIN THE SPINACH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BEFORE ADDING.

All I do is steam a bunch of spinach or open a can of spinach is much easier. mix in eggs and crumbled or shredded cheese (or add to the top) in a large bowel. Then bake to melt the cheese and cook the eggs. See my Wok-oven above, use a very low flame.

  • Eggs (you don't need a recipĂ© to tell you how many eggs to use)
  • Spinach (canned or fresh)
  • Cheese this is actually optional, but not for me (I like strong cheese because the flavor goes farther with less cholesterol) Blue cheese or Feta is best.
  • Dried Tomatoes if you have a food drier.
  • Mushrooms (sauteed in vinegar and oil)
  • Leeks or Onions (caramelized in oil)
  • Herbs like oregano or basil

other ingredients that are not essential:

  • I would never use cream but some people can eat anything.
  • TVP “Bacon” bits work if you keep them dry-ish, sprinkle on top after baking.
  • Nutmeg?
  • Meat ??? (like crunchy fried bacon.) or Canadian bacon.




My oven stopped working a couple years ago so I built one out of a wok for stove top use, see pix above. Pie plate on an empty tuna can. And a little water in the bottom of the wok to make steam. Glass lids are not essential but they help. Go to the GoodWill store.
