Why it works
- High cholesterol: Spinach and zucchini bulk out this crustless quiche, with olive oil instead of butter or cream.
- Acid reflux (GERD): This mild quiche has no citrus, tomato, chili, black pepper or fried crust.
- No pork: Eggs and vegetables make up the quiche, with no meat.
- No spicy food: Chives give the quiche a gentle savory flavor without hot spices.
GERD check: watch for chili and pepper heat, citrus, tomato, coffee, chocolate, alcohol and very fatty foods. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
