soft, fluffy vegetarian quiche recipe

You can use chopped fresh veggies or frozen, whatever you prefer. I used a little bit of both... frozen green peppers and spinach and fresh red peppers, green onions and zucchini.

Once I mixed it all up, I had so much that a pie pan wouldn't have been big enough to contain it in the oven, hence the casserole dish. ;-)

This is such a savory recipe that it practically melts in your mouth. It's soft, moist, fluffy and absolutely delicious.

In addition, there are a more than a few low-fat and non-dairy alternatives you can use to replace many of the traditional quiche ingredients. Low fat milk, soy milk and almond milk can all be substituted for the heavy cream.
