What the heck is quiche, and why isn't it a pizza? I'd much rather have
a pizza.

I always hated quiche. Mom always made it with egg, I think thats
standard, and it was never tasty.

I agree. Quiche is awful. It's an abomination. It's salt and sweet,
meat and custard, main and desert, hot and cold, all in one!

I hate it!

Indeed...

Good quiche is ambrosia.

Pizza has it's place, but not in place of quiche!

I like to add Havarti with shrimp and mushrooms, and prefer to make it
crustless.

A good tomato and bacon quiche is rather good too with a bit of cheddar.

So many quiche's, so little time!

Ooh ooh! ...that sounds really good. I usually do bacon/mushroom.
How do you prep your tomatoes? You can't leave too much moisture in
your veggies or the quiche will weep. Do you use dried tomatoes?

One of my faves, and a great combo, is salmon/asparagus quiche. I use
dried/smoked salmon and pan fry my aspargus to reduce moisture.
Grilled veggies also work great for quiche.

Blanch, peel, chop and drain. ;-)
I drink the leftover tomato juice with great pleasure...
It's not much trouble, really!

Nope! Roma.
Not much juice in those to drain out.

Damn that sounds good, thanks!

"leftovers" quiche can always be interesting, but I rarely do that.
Quiche's are usually planned.

Carmelized onions are often a good addition depending on what you are
doing.

Sausage, carmelized onions, chili peppers in small amounts, perhaps some
Chorizo.

Ambrosia is the food of the gods, Nectar is the drink of the gods, so
the iced Earl Grey tea with Splenda will have to be Nectar. Unless it
is so iced, you have to eat it with a spoon and then the gods will
have to decide what it is.

You're both in error.

AMBROSIA is a term from the Greek, meaning "Food of the Gods", and can
be applied to anything that is delicious to eat. Sorry if I sound
stuffy, but some of you might like to know that.

It is a baked egg dish, very tasty. It is nothing like pizza, and very
easy to make. Quiche Lorraine tastes like a western omelet. I once
made a pizza quiche with hot Italian sausage that was great!

You get (or make) a pie crust, lay in the fillings (cheese and whatever)
then pour in the beaten eggs and bake. It is good hot or cold.

I hope this thread takes off. :-)

Quiche's have a LOT of potential!
At least as many as pizza toppings. <lol>

quiche is great, but it's not in the same league as pizza

I disagree... It's in it's own league!

You really cannot compare quiche to pizza.
They are two totally different kinds of food and both have their own
merits.

But if you did ... you would have to say that quiche is a much more nutrient
dense food. Eggs are among the top five most nutritionally complete foods
for humans.

Note that I said "nutrient dense," not "healthy" or any other general term.
For anyone for whom saturated fat and cholesterol are problems, pizza is a
better choice.

I agree with tert in seattle it is not in the same league as pizza.
I agree with you. It is in a league of its own.
I just can't figure out why you are disagreeing,

True. But, like pizza, you can take the basic crust and filling
ingredients and add different things. Hold the chicken. I have had
several different quiches with chicken and found them all disappointing.

The best quiche I ever had was more likely a Quiche Alsace, since it was
in Strasbourg in the Alsace region, next to Lorraine. It was very rich
and had ham and a used a cheese like Gruyere. The closest I had to a
genuine Quiche Lorraine was in the Lorraine region, but it was called
Tourte Lorraine. It was a small pie with about an inch of sausage meat
in the bottom and the cheesy custard on top. It was delicious. I was
stuffed by the time I finished it, and it was just the appetizer.

Actually, they have a lot in common. Both have a crust, include
cheese and veggies, and are baked.

Gadzooks, if your quiche lorraine tastes like a western omelet you are
doing something seriously wrong.

Okay, I was being too general. It tastes more like a western omelet than,
say, a hamburger.

You like, " I ****ed up," better?

My quiche lorraine tastes like quiche lorraine! Eggs, lots of swiss,
and ham. But I do make one with green peppers, onions, ham and
cheddar.
