Spinach and Cheese Quiche. Traditionally quiche is usually made with lots of cheese, heavy cream, and eggs.  It also has a pastry dough as crust. So it is normally a very calorie-dense dish.

Below is a recipe that shows you how to have a healthier version quiche as it slashes off the heavy cream, uses low fat milk and replacing the crust with wholemeal bread.

You can serve this Spinach and Cheese quiche with roasted potatoes, mixed salad with balsamic vinegar or tomato soup as sides, either for breakfast or lunch.

This is an easy to make dish, fun to cook together with the children as part of their learning playtime experience.
