This is a great, fast, easy recipe to follow. I substitutes the mushrooms for asparagus and the gruyere cheese for goat cheese. I also added a few sun dried tomatoes. It was AWESOME!!!! I will definitely be making this recipe again....the crust is the best low calorie substitute I have seen around!

I love this quiche. I wasn't sure I would like the rolled oats crust because pie crust is so tasty. But I didn't miss the pie crust at all. I made it for dinner, and served it with a salad. My mom and sister both wanted the recipe. At less than 300 calories a slice, you can't beat it.

I made this last night, and even my husband, who typically doesn't care for "health food," LOVED this! He typically doesn't like meals without meat, so the fact that he raved about it really says something! So why am I not giving it 5 stars? Because I couldn't make the crust exactly as described. 3 tablespoons of buttermilk was not nearly enough to bring the dough together. I put probably 4 tablespoons, and that still wasn't enough. The dough just crumbled instead of rolling out with the rolling pin, so I just put the ball of dough into the pan and pressed it out with my fingers. My advice is to start with 3 T, and then add more from there.

Also, I think next time I'll use a deep dish pie pan...all the stuff didn't fit into my regular 9" pie pan, and I made a nice mess in the bottom of the oven. Next time, I'll also probably use jarlsberg lite cheese instead of gruyere...you can use more of it for the same or less calories and fat. Pair it with a nice green side salad and you've got an excellent and healthy meal!

Great for those who are diabetic or who are trying to eat low carb. Substituted different cheeses (shredded provolone for slightly smokey flavor with ham...yum

This recipe is fantastic. I have made this over and over again and I even change up the filling ingredients (ham, bacon, spinach, broccoli, etc. using the basics of this recipe as the structure. The possibilities are endless!

I really enjoy quiche, but have been trying to find a healthier alternative to the standard pie crust. Have tried the Pillsbury buiscuits (not enough like crust and way to salty, rice-based crusts (too mushy... This oat crust is great - much less fat, and made with healthy oats it is crispy and doesn't go soggy.

Great!!!

The quiche recipe is good as is, but great with a little tweaking. On my first attempt I made the quiche following the recipe exactly. The thyme was a little overpowering. I would suggest using 1/2 tsp. dried thyme. On my second attempt I added some ground sausage, sauteed zucchini, and used 2oz. of gruyere cheese. I made the quiche in a tart pan instead of pie tin. Much easier to serve and prettier presentation. I also added a handful of walnuts which I finely ground to the oat crust for texture and flavor.

I used refrigerated pie crust because time was a factor and it was great. I used a tart pan with a removable bottom and it made a wonderful presentation. I also liked the fact that it called for whites and yokes. It was devoured by all! I will definitely keep this one on file.

I made this recipe with my own variations. The crust was so simple with my food processor and I used a heart healthy margarine stick that worked great. I made my own buttermilk with skim milk and lemon (who has buttermilk on hand?. The crust was so delicious I will definately use it for more quiches. For the quich itself I used the onion and mushroom but used asiago chees, egg beaters equal to 6 eggs worth and added a layer of spinach, fresh basil, and sliced tomatoes. It was a huge hit, and so delicious! The total calories ended up being around 250 with almost no cholesterol thanks to the egg beaters.

This was a really yummy recipe but I agree that it did take a bit of time. The crust was a bit difficult to roll out but was well worth it. I might try it with whole wheat flour next time. Also, I added a bit more guyere on top of the quiche. Cooking with a partner makes this an even more enjoyable meal. I will be making it again!
