Quiche + Salad = perfect lunch
So what happens when you cannot eat gluten or lactose? You eat just the salad?? Naaaaa…
You can eat these lovely savory muffins with a very special ham crust (I personally prefer chicken “ham” but feel free to use regular or low-calories ham). Basically all you have to do is substitute the pastry crust for round ham slices et voilà! You get a crispy and delicious crust that will surprise you and your guests!
For the filling I used beaten eggs, rice flour and lactose free milk with two veggies: red bell peppers and scallions. They are all you need for a simple and tasty quiche. If you want to add other ingredients, I would suggest leeks (green parts only for low FODMAPpers), 1/2 a cup of zucchini or broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes (2 pieces per person) and adding some goat cheese.
Now I can have my quiche and eat it with salad too!
Ah and don´t forget that these beautiful mini quiches are also perfect to take to work or for a party.

Obrigada 🙂
These mini-quiches look so delightful! It’s incredible how creative you are with these gluten-free recipes that can be enjoyed by anyone!
Thank you, Georgina. You´re very kind 🙂
These mini quiches are simply divine. I’ve mixed up the ingredients.
Very portable, as I carry them to work for a mid morning refresher.
Thank you
Great to hear that! Thank you 🙂
Great recipe! I didn’t have scallions or bell peppers, so I had to use spinach, but it was still good and very simple to make.
Thank you for all your recipes. I am just starting FODMAP and your site has been a life saver!
Hi Ailyn! So happy to hear and glad I can help you out with the recipes 🙂 I hope you feel better with the low fodmap diet. Xo
