4. Meanwhile, lightly coat a 9″ pie dish with some cooking oil.

Hi Anuja and Hetal..
Can u plz tel me that.. wht can i use instead of eggs coz i m vegeterian.. plz..
Hi Hetal and Anuja,
Is it possible to substitute half or all the amount of whole eggs with egg whites? I usually substitute 2 egg whites for a whole egg in omelets and scrambled egg recipes to cut down on the cholesterol, but didn’t know if I could do the same with quiche. Thanks!
Hi Malavika,
We have not tried it with egg whites, but it should work. Basically, the eggs are the binding force in quiche and even egg whites do the trick. I would probably not eliminate all of the yolks the first time you try it.
hey guys can I use cream cheese and some other Shredded Cheese instead of cottage cheese.For two people how many eggs do u suggest.
Thanks
Hi Rizna,
You can omit the cottage cheese and use any cheese you like. The cottage cheese is there to make it lighter. You can make half the amount shown for 2 people.
Hi,
Is this recipe to be made only in oven? The oven in our apartment does not work at all. Is there any other method to cook this dish? I am quite eager to try it out. Help please!!!
Thanks for a yummy dish.
Hi Priya,
Sorry, we have never made quiche without an oven 🙁
Ok,It’s alright. Quite nice to see your quick reply.
I made broccoli quiche for brunch over the weekend and it was a hit! As a typical desi, I added a little crushed red pepper for spice and it was delicious! thanks for your recipes!
Hi D,
Thanx for replying. I had almost left hope, checked today suddenly. Thanx again.

Antra

YOU CAN GO FOR LOW FAT COTTAGE CHEESE AND LOW FAT SHREDED CHEESE. IT WOULD TASTE THE SAME.

Hi Hetal & Anuja

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
This recipe looks great. Can we use muffin pan to make smaller individual quiches instead of a large single one. What should be the temperature setting of the oven and for how long?
Thanks.
The quiche in the muffin pans would look sooo cute! Great idea!
We suggest that you keep the same temperature but reduce the amout of time to about 30-35 min. Allow the eggs to settle and firm up before you pop them out (very very important)!
Send us a picture when you make them.
Enjoy!
Helllo Ladies,
Can we also add zucchini along with broccoli? The quiche looks really tasty.
Yes, zucchini sounds wonderful! we would suggest that you don’t cook it a whole lot because it will fall apart and become soggy. Add it into the pan in the last 2-3 minutes of cooking the broccoli.
Enjoy!
Hi Hetal and Anuja
That was such a simple and filling recipe. Made it for dinner instead of brunch …. excellent …
Thanks
