Can you use milk instead of heavy cream
You can use milk instead of cream but cream gives the quiche a rich and more custardy texture.
This was great I put red onion and yellow pepper in this.
Terrific recipe. You can also add 1/4 cup each of any (or several) vegetables into the quiche, if you like.
Made this tonight. I added mushrooms, red bell pepper, and onion. I also added pizza sauce the last 5 minutes. I will definitely be making this again. It is a good way to use leftover veggies and meats.
I made the Pizza Quiche today & didn’t have pepperoni so I used crumbled cooked ssausage & also added onion powder, basil & oregano. I had a half of a plum tomato that I chopped & added. I lightly buttered my dish but when I cut my quiche it was sticking to the bottom. I baked it for 30
Min. The top was light brown. Not sure if I baked it too long? It still tasted delicious. Will definitely make it again.
My daughter and I just finished eating Just finished eating the “crustless Pizza Quiche for One” this morning. Love, Love it. I didn’t have pepperoni so I chopped up fresh asparagus and it was delicious. I am 88 years old and have just found your web site, bought the book and am enjoying all of it. Thank you soooo much.
I cut the recipe in half, used diced canadian bacon rather than the pepperoni and skipped the Italian seasoning. Baked in a ramekin, perfect delicious breakfast for one.
As a diabetic I truly appreciate this recipe. It’s packed full of protein, is low carb and best of all it’s made with ingredients I typically have on hand. Actually, the best part is that it tastes great and is quick and easy to prepare. I will definitely be making this regularly and appreciate that the base recipe is easily adaptable to ingredients I have available. Big thumbs up!
Perfect meal, loaded with protein, super delish👌👌
I made this tonight and it was REALLY good. It truly does taste like pizza and I didn’t even notice there’s no tomato sauce. I added some chopped green pepper and minced onion and think I’ll add some sliced mushrooms next time. Definitely a keeper. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!
