Is quiche a health food?

[Bean]

If I make a crustless quiche with 4 eggs, almond milk, carrots, Brussels sprouts, cheese, bell pepper and black pepper and then I eat half of it (2 eggs worth), am I eating healthy? Does it become a junk food if I put it in a frozen pie crust?

I would say you're eating healthy! I think it's healthier without the frozen pie crust, but equally I don't think it's a bad thing if you want to add the crust every once in a while You can always make your own crust if you want, too. That way, you can control what goes into it.

Yes crust less quiche is great for you. I would also recommend using a low-fat milk option instead of cream and going light on the cheese. That said, all the veggies you add to your recipe are great for you! I think it's a wonderful way to get protein and lots of nutrients

sounds like a health food to me! Especially with more cheese

I really love quiches so I could probably sit down and eat a whole one. I'm not proud of it but it's true. So I load mine up with veggies so I'll eat less quiche but more veg! It's super delicious and I get several servings of vegetables in one plate!
