Grated potatoes are a substitute for the high fat butter crusts used in traditional quiche.  You can serve this hearty dish for breakfast, brunch, as an hors d’ouevre or even for dinner.  If your kids like eggs then they will gobble this up.  And it is a great way to sneak in loads of veggies.  The last time I made it, my son asked if I could make it for dinner every night!

Ingredients:Quiche1

  • 1 1/2 cups grated potatoes (about 3 small)
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

  3. Saute onions, spinach, mushrooms and broccoli in a frying pan over medium heat until softened, about 7 minutess.  Remove from heat.
