Join the discussionI made just one of these to test it out. It’s ok. The texture is much softer and more custard-like than regular quiche. Instead of using a hand whisk I ran the the ricotta in a blender until it was smooth, which made the prep quite quick. If I made it again I’d double the meat, vegetables and cheese to emphasize the fillings, and minimize the custard. I’d also increase the cooling time to an hour or two because at 15 minutes out of the oven it’s still runny.
Thanks for the feedback! The texture will be slightly different than a typical quiche because we’ve omitted the eggs. I think you’ll find after the freeze and thaw the texture gets even better!
