KALE , ONION AND "BACON" QUICHE

Kale , Onion and

This recipe is for a vegetarian quiche, but you can easily adapt it to a vegan version, or use meat to make it non-veggie. My whole family loved this, and they don't normally like quiche very much. I served it with a wild & long grain rice cooked with dried cranberries, and some carrots and peas.

Even using whole milk and full fat ingredients, this is fairly low cal, but if fat-free or low fat alternatives this would be a great low cal/low fat brunch or lunch dish. Recipe source: local newspaper
