Gluten Free Quiche

Anyone who has tried to feed my quiche in the past 15 years is looking at the post stunned. I don’t like quiche, I don’t eat quiche, I am not a fan. And, while it’s still not my favorite dish, I did enjoy this quiche this weekend, so I will probably not turn my noise up at the idea of quiche if someone else tried to feed it to me.

When we woke-up on Saturday morning Hubs felt like he was coming down with a cold. I suggested we lay low all day, watch movies and I’d make soup and grilled cheese. Well grilled cheese turned into paninis and paninis turned into quiche. He was sick and has been working so hard lately I couldn’t say no, when we asked for a quiche.

I was just going to make the quiche for him, using a pre-made crust still kickin’ it in my freezer, but once we’d purchased all the yummy veggies (zucchini, cremini mushrooms, and onion) it started to sound more appealing. Then once I’d researched how to make the crust from scratch and thought, “I can totally do that!” it was on.

Here’s how I made it…

Gluten Free Zucchini Pancakes

Hubs bought breakfast sausages at Trader Joe’s earlier this week and I immediately thought, “Score, breakfast for dinner!” We ate the healthy fish and salad then night he brought it home and I planned to make the sausage with some gluten free pancakes the next night.

On my way home from work on pancake night, I started thinking these pancakes needed to be a little more exciting than just plain pancakes. Blueberries? Raspberries? What should I add? Then it hit me, I should make them more nutritious too! I decided to attempt zucchini bread-ish pancakes and they turned out pretty tasty, if I do say so myself… and Hubs said so too.

How did I make them?

He Cooks - Zucchini Casserole

The Hubs also LOVES to cook and he is really helpful and makes dinner without me on nights I really need to work on homework. This week I have a CRAZY amount of homework, Boooo! So, the Hubs made us Zucchini Casserole (from Gina's WW Recipes) and tomato soup.

Ingredients
4 cups grated zucchini
1 cup bisquick
1 small onion, grated
3 egg whites, 1 whole egg
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1 tsp parsley

Directions
1 - Preheat oven to 350°.

2 - Mix everything together in a bowl.

3 - Spray a pie dish or a casserole with Pam and pour mixture.

4 - Bake approximately 45 minutes, until golden brown.

5 - Put a toothpick in the center to test if it is done. If it comes out clean, it is ready.

Servings: 10-12 servings • Cooking Time: 45 minutes • Points: 2.5 ww points

The Hubs rubbed EVOO on the bottom of the pan because we don't have Pam. I think that is why this burned to the bottom of the dish, next time we will try Pam or margarine.
