I disagree... It's in it's own league!

You really cannot compare quiche to pizza.
They are two totally different kinds of food and both have their own
merits.

But if you did ... you would have to say that quiche is a much more nutrient
dense food. Eggs are among the top five most nutritionally complete foods
for humans.

Note that I said "nutrient dense," not "healthy" or any other general term.
For anyone for whom saturated fat and cholesterol are problems, pizza is a
better choice.

Nope.
Not if you are an Atkinsophile!

Bread makes me deathly ill.
If I eat pizza, I'm sick for at least 2 days depending on how much I eat.

According to the stats I've read, 5% of the population is allergic to
wheat proteins. It's no wonder gastroenterologists are so rich.

Eggs are no longer the evil that was once preached.

I have some minor food allergies, mostly to things I like. When tested I had
positive result to hops, malt, yeast, tomato, potato, cheese, pork and a few
others. I can handle each in small doses. Pizza is bad because it hits a number
of my allergies all at once. Worse than that, the best beverage to have with pizza
is beer, which hits three allergies. No wonder I used to get sick after eating
pizza and beer.

Indeed... for me, it's mainly the bread/wheat.

I can eat the toppings off the pizza, no problem.
Just no crust. :-P

I believe you. My wife does the same. She is allergic to use and was celiac as a
child. She just slurps the toppings off the pizza and then hands me the crust.
She fails to understand my lack of enthusiasm for a fish lipped pizza crust with
no toppings.

Bill, point taken. There are valid reasons for avoiding foods high
in cholesterol, one being having high serum cholesterol. Some
of us make so much of our own that diet can put us in a
dangerous range, especially if there is pre-existing heart disease.

The point I was making is that for others, eggs are a healthy
food because of all the nutrients they contain. They are for me
because my overall cholesterol is low and my HDL "good"
cholesterol is sky high. That said, I have eaten lots of eggs,
meat, and dairy, in addition to lots of fresh vegetables,
fibrous whole grains and fruits, all my life. And lets just
say I am over um, 35.

To put it more simply: a generation or more grew up
thinking that more than three eggs a week is bad for
EVERYONE. It just is not true.

I agree with tert in seattle it is not in the same league as pizza.
I agree with you. It is in a league of its own.
I just can't figure out why you are disagreeing,

True. But, like pizza, you can take the basic crust and filling
ingredients and add different things. Hold the chicken. I have had
several different quiches with chicken and found them all disappointing.

The best quiche I ever had was more likely a Quiche Alsace, since it was
in Strasbourg in the Alsace region, next to Lorraine. It was very rich
and had ham and a used a cheese like Gruyere. The closest I had to a
genuine Quiche Lorraine was in the Lorraine region, but it was called
Tourte Lorraine. It was a small pie with about an inch of sausage meat
in the bottom and the cheesy custard on top. It was delicious. I was
stuffed by the time I finished it, and it was just the appetizer.

here's my test -- can I eat pizza every day and still love it? yes

could I eat quiche every day and still love it? no, well first of
all I don't love quiche, I just like it, and second, who would want
to eat quiche every day??

Goodness...

With the unbelievable number of ingredients that can be put into
quiche....

More variable than pizza by far IMHO.

But I'd not want to eat EITHER of them every day for very long.

But, I've been on a salad kick this week.
That's just as, if not more, variable than either. ;-)

Salads are like sandwiches, just without the bread.
There are an endless combo.

Come to think of it, quiche......

Well, nevermind. ;-)

Okayyyyyyyy....

Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious, but it seems like your sole
method of determining what league something's in is by selecting an
imaginary number that represents how many variations can be spun
out of the basic theme -- am I right? Let me just say that's not an
interesting way to look at food IMHO but whatever, nevermind. What
I want to know is, how can you say a salad is like a sandwich, just
without the bread? A salad is a bunch of foods thrown together.
A sandwich is far more structured than a salad. You probably would
categorize that as a limitation, but some of us appreciate the need
for a little order and structure in a chaotic world. Think about
this: there's no such thing as a Reuben salad, and there's a good
reason for that! Same goes for Reuben pizza -- bad idea.

I couldn't eat either everyday, but I can eat oatmeal every day. So
oatmeal is better than pizza or quiche? I think we're talking
personal taste here. <G>

Baked oatmeal base with sliced, fried apples and cinnamon on it.
Drizzled with vanilla icing when it comes out of the oven. Cheddar
for those who want it.

pizza was BETTER than quiche...

Actually, they have a lot in common. Both have a crust, include
cheese and veggies, and are baked.

So then an apple pie with cheese on top is like a pizza, because it is
made with a crust and baked?

Pizza is made with bread dough. It most often has a tomato sauce, but not
always. toppings are optional. Quiche is always made with a rich custard
filling.

In the area of France where quiche originated they have their own version
of pizza called an onion tart. It is a bread dough that has been spread
out like pizza and it is topped with cheese and lots of onion then bake
in a hot oven.

Tarte Flambee in France, Flammkuchen in Germany,
my version of it is pizza dough spread with creme frache (or soft white
farmers cheese) with a tsp of nutmeg stirred into it, coursely chopped
slices of Canadian bacon (I use 0.4 lb), then diceded onion to blanket
everything. Bake as a normal pizza.

It's simple, tasty, and a whole lot less calories than standard
"cheesey" pizzas. Like a quiche, serve with dry riesling or
gewurztraminer for maximum ethnic experience.

Okay, from what I've understood from this group, a crustless quiche is more
like a frittata, is it not? I used to absolutely adore quiche, but
unfortunately, I can no longer eat eggs. I do, however, LOVE my pizza. My
husband doesn't eat pizza, but eats the heck out of eggs. Jack Sprat. :-/

Hee!

Yeah, I guess a "crustless quiche" is pretty much a frittata... but I've
made psuedo-crusts out of sliced veggies. I need to make one and take a
pic but I rarely use my oven anymore.

If you can't eat eggs, maybe you could try it using Egg Beaters. I wonder

I've thought of Egg Beaters, but never wanted to spend the money on them in
case they bother me. If I could get them at a restaurant to try, I'd
possibly do that.

As I understand it, Egg Beaters are colored egg whites.

It would probably be cheaper to make them and toss them than to order a
restaurant meal, even if you wind up tossing what you've made. JAT.

Combine ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until thoroughly
blended. The ingredients may be blended in a blender but too much
mixing makes the egg substitute frothy. Recipe may be multiplied by any
amount desired. One recipe makes the equivalent of 1 egg (1/4 cup).

They're real egg whites with fake egg yolks added. Unless they've
changed over the years. So it depends on what part of the egg you're
allergic to.

Question is, is it just chicken eggs?
My sister is allergic to chicken eggs. When she lived close by and I had
ducks, I'd save duck eggs for her. She loved them and was fine with
them.

A real treat for her was turkey eggs when I had a couple of turkey hens!
Their texture is closer to chicken eggs than duck, and the flavor is
very rich. She could also eat guinea eggs.

The eggs of any bird can be eaten, many have slightly different
textures. Best quiche I _ever_ made was made from fresh Ostrich egg.
I made it for a potluck. ;-) An Ostrich egg holds about a quart or so
and the yolk to white ratio is higher. They whip up much lighter and
fluffier than chicken eggs tho' due to a denser consistency to the white.

You know, Kat, I have no idea! The only kind of eggs I've ever had were
chicken. I've also never tried free-range eggs, although that's what we buy
from the veggie stand, because I get so sick from chicken eggs it's not
worth trying even free-range. Why be sick for 2 days because of an
experiment? I just stay away and don't worry about it. I absolutely love
eggs, but they don't like me. It happens. :-(

Egg substitutes work but it takes a little longer for the quich to set.
I add a little extra cheest to compensate. Problems with flour can be
minimized but using less. A usable crust can be made from a cup of
flour, canola oil to crumb stage(I usually sneak in a litle butter but
not neccessary), and then water to make it workable.
