I hate when people modify a recipe to make it ‘healthy.’ Eat less of it if you’re worried, but don’t mess with it…. My local paper used to have a column in its Sunday edition where people would send in their favorite recipe, and the columnist would work up a ‘healthier’ version of it. The thing is that they were almost invariably special occasion/holiday dishes that were indulged in once in a blue moon, rather than part of anyone’s regular dies…. I used to clip and keep the columns for the original recipes, not the ‘healthy’ versions. Unfortunately I moved one time too many, and lost the box I kept them in.

Love that you’ve made the quiche your own and found a portioning that works for you! Your tweaks sound delicious and sensible, especially for those looking to manage calorie intake without sacrificing flavor. The serving sizes can indeed vary based on appetite and occasion. Your feedback and modifications provide a great alternative for others seeking a heartier slice. Thanks for sharing your insights and for making the recipe a staple in your kitchen.
