I like my quiche chalk full of vegetables, not too eggy. When I make a quiche I like to season and saute, roast or steam the vegetables first, and then add them to the baked shell. I find they have more flavor that way. Adding them raw just wouldn't work, the filling will be watery and bland. I mix all the seasonings and fresh herbs into the egg whites first and then pour over the vegetables and cheese in the baked pie shell. <br /> <br />There are fewer calories when you use only egg whites (16 calories for one egg white compared to 72 calories for one whole egg) and you will find very little difference in texture, just make sure the ingredients you use to fill your quiche are flavorful. <br /> <br />Meat lovers can add 1/3 cup of chopped ham, chopped roasted chicken, cooked bacon or cooked Italian sausage. <br /> <br />If you want to go really low fat, don't use a pie shell. Place all the ingredients in a greased 9 inch pie plate and bake for 40 minutes in a 350 F oven. <br /> <br />I made two quiches but I divided the recipe in half for you, so the ingredients below are for one quiche.
