This better gut health quiche is a healthy twist to the popular quiche recipe. Having worked with many fussy eaters, I recommend to first start adding new foods to familiar recipes. Quiche is popular enough and the ingredients can be inter-changeable, according to taste and seasonality. This better gut health quiche is fully vegan/vegetarian. Feel free to experiment with a different combination of vegetables and/or protein.

Food should be a pleasure to eat and this dish is no difference. I swapped eggs, dairy and cheese for a lighter, healthier version. There are healthy oils and plenty of gut-friendly fibre. A healthy twist to a popular dish.
