Introduction

I know. Quiche isn't supposed to be light. Not if you want it to taste good, anyway. It can be done, though. To reduce fat and carbs further use olive oil instead of butter, and nix the crust. Beware, though, that the custard will stick terribly without additional greasing of the pan. I know. Quiche isn't supposed to be light. Not if you want it to taste good, anyway.
