What's your take on quiche? Hopefully no one falls for that old line about how "real men" don't eat it, because quiche is a versatile dish the whole family can enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It can be rich and decadent for a special occasion, or you can lighten it up if you prefer. You can even make vegan quiche without eggs, or lower-glycemic quiche with whole wheat flour, depending on what you want. And rather than being just a dish, quiche is really a category, because the choices for fillings are endless.
If you've never tried making quiche at home, you might be surprised how easy it is to turn out seriously delicious results. Here are some quiche ideas from a few of the BlogHer Food Network blogs that might make a great menu option for the weekend.

This Salmon, Dill, and Goat Cheese Quiche from Simply Recipes is the one that got me thinking about quiche. This post also has links to some quiche ideas from other blogs, as well as a few delicious-sounding quiche ideas in the comments from Simply Recipes' readers.

If you're not sure about the idea of making pie crust, this Crustless Spinach, Onion, and Feta Quiche from Baking Bites might be something you'd like. The quiche does have a crust of sorts, but it's formed when the flour mixed into the egg mixture settles on the bottom and creates a crust, so this is an easy option.

A slightly different take on crustless quiche is the Crustless Quiche with Tomatoes, Zucchini, and Salami from Modern Beet. Inspired by quiche from Tartine restaurant in San Francisco, the addition of creme fraiche makes this creamy and delicious.

Dianne from Dianne's Dishes discovered you can make tasty quiche using a pie crust made from whole grain flour when she used White Whole Wheat Flour to make this Whole Grain Zucchini and Mushroom Quiche. This quiche also uses lower-fat cheese to make it a lighter option.

Finally, for a vegan quiche option, these Mini Crustless Tofu Quiches from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen look delicious. The filling is flavored with garlic, bell pepper, mushroom, chives, and rosemary with silken and tofu standing in for the eggs.
