LellyJ - This was yum, thanks Cookie.  We are not dairy free so I used milk and cheese as per the recipe.  It did take longer to cook than 35 minutes, didn't actually take notice of exactly how long but after 35 minutes it wasn't set in the middle.  Perhaps I didn't squeeze out my spinach enough.  No matter though, just cooked it a bit longer and it was delicious, healthy and easy!  Thanks again.

Chookie - Cookie,  this looks great and is similar to my Favorite Quiche.  Last time I made it i forgot to put the flour in so it became GF.  I have been thinking about how to make it Lactose free.  I think Soy milk and extra eggs would help and perhaps tofu, all zapped in the TMX.  Creamed sweet corn is another possibility to give a bit of bulk. 

O4aTimtam -  I bought a bag of baby spinach instead of a bunch.  I used half a bag, so about 125g when in.  I think I probably could have used more as it cooked down quite a lot. Used Greek feta chopped into small cubes.  It was delicious.

LellyJ - Tim Tam, I used bag baby spinach, 200g worth, I think it was plenty.  I personally prefer greek fetta, but I made this with danish as that is all the local shop had--again IMO, I don't think it matters.

Cuilidh - Pretty well followed the recipe but used soy milk and soy cheese (for the first time) and added some creamed corn as well. Everything turned out great.  I'm really pleased.  I would probably use a little less dill next time but the creamed corn worked - I used most of the 420 gm tin, and could have used the whole tin without it being overpowering but I'll know that next time.  Using the whole tin left some of the egg mixture over so I just made a couple of wee savoury quiches in my muffin tin.  Thanks for this recipe, I'm glad that I now have a good, reliable quiche I can make for DH.

Moo2 - I made this with spinach and a bit of zucchini as I didn't have quite enough spinach. It was really lovely and everyone ate it all up, even though zucchini is one of their least favorite foods. Will definitely be making it again. Thanks for posting Cookie1.

Uni - I finally made it, better late than never. Smells and looks good. 

Hally - This is yummy, we had some for lunch with a nice green salad and chookies no fuss rolls. Thanks Cookie.

Bootobethin, that was exactly my thinking.  It looks great and I'd love to try it, but we're now lactose free so tweaks will be greatly appreciated.

I'd say it's worth a try.

Very true Chookie. We usually have quiche about once a week here, but different varieties. Great for dinner and leftovers are good for lunch.

Thanks, Chookie .... don't stop thinking!  If I get a chance this weekend I'll give this a go with tofu and see what happens.  The creamed corn idea is also worth a try..
