flist! does anyone have any good recommendations/suggestions for something in the frittata/crustless quiche family that will feed four people, two of whom are on weight watchers? (i'd make a quiche but i'm not emotionally prepared to make a low-fat, low-calorie crust. you may feel free to laugh at me for being emotionally unprepared to bake

Low fat quiches make me sad. :c

Idk, we don't really a lot of local legends beyond the Superstition mine thing and the Camelback Mountain dragon thing.

i admit they make me sad too but it's for mother's day and my mom is constantly on a diet and if i make a regular-fat quiche she'll make a disappointed face at me. and i can suffer a low-fat crustless quiche for one day. also i bought ramekins to make little individual ones.

what's the camelback mountain dragon thing? there's a sleeping dragon in the desert?

The crustless isn't even a thing, you can make any quiche crustless. But the quiches I like contain cream. :p That said, I have made this quiche from Cooking Light before and it is pretty good. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/crustless-broccoli-cheese-quiche-10000000491421/

That's the legend I heard when I was a kid. Camelback looks like a camel's back, hence the name, but the legend is the dragon fell asleep and it's under the dirt/rock.

I'd do a salad or grilled asparagus or something else green.

[tsuki_no_bara]

ooh, maybe a cold asparagus salad or something. i admit i was thinking more along the lines of another baked good, but green is probably better.

A couple of whole eggs and the rest egg whites, spinach (thawed and drained), reduced fat feta.

But I usually throw whatever I have that's left over into a frittata: mushrooms, asparagus, tomatoes, kale, etc.

[tsuki_no_bara]

i keep seeing frittatas with asparagus and thinking a. "yum", but also b. "but the asparagus in the store didn't look so great". so i have broccoli, mostly because i'm a big fan. if i separate my eggs to make some egg whites, what do i do with the yolks besides make custard?

(and the more i read "frittata" the more wrong it looks. >.< )

[tamalinn]

um. make more custard?

also, is there anything particularly californian that you would like me to bring? i realized i forgot to tell you that my flight gets in at, like, 11:15p on 6/14. >.< i can take a cab.

Oh, also, baked goods are AWESOME.

You can make pie crust with just egg yolk. I remember I made a ricotta pie for something years ago that called for separated eggs--the whites went into the filling and the yolks went into the crust.
