無皮蔬菜芝士蛋派 Crustless Vegetable Quiche


我在上一篇網誌中說好了要與大家分享我們這個三道菜晚餐的食譜;上次介紹了頭盤,今天便來和大家說說這道主菜《沒有皮的蔬菜芝士蛋批》。

I said in the last post that I was going to share the recipes of our three course dinner with you.  Last time I  wrote about the starter, so today let's have a look at the main course: the《Crustless Vegetable Quiche》.




最近我很多煮食靈感都是來自纖體世界的烹飪叢書系列,這個也不例外。

Recently I've taken a lot of inspiration from the Slimming World's range of cook books, this is one of them.


說起 vegetable quiche, 便想起我以前唸書時的圖書館長 P 先生夫婦。那時的我是個半工讀的勤學生。很多個星期天,他們夫婦都請我去他們家吃頓豐富的烤肉午餐。我當時是住在我做工的東主家,他們夫婦有兩個小孩。平時每晚的飯餸都很豐富,但吃的都是中菜;久了自然對 P 先生家的傳統西餐十分嚮往。

Coming across the vegetable quiche recipe reminded me of the Liberian from my college days and his wife; Mr and Mrs P.  I was a hard working student,  living in my part-time employer's house with their two children at the time.  The supper every night would undoubtedly be rich and delicious, but they were always Chinese meals.  So every time when I was asked to have a Sunday roast dinner with Mr. and Mrs P, just the thought of the beautifully roasted joint of meat sometimes made me wish I was staying with them instead.


然後有一個星期天,當我去到他們家,看到飯桌中央放著的,並不是一塊大羊腿或一隻大烤雞,而是一個蔬菜芝士蛋派。

And then one Sunday, when I turned up at their house, at the centre of the dining table, instead of a joint of lamb or a whole chicken, there was a vegetable quiche.


我的臉一定是當塲下沉了。當時仍未想做素食者的 P 太太,在看到我的反應時,望了她先生一眼後便忍不住大笑起來。

My face must have dropped at that instant.  Mrs P, who then didn't want to become a vegetarian, on seeing my reaction, looked at her husband and burst out laughing!


但我可以說,那盤 P 先生用了整個早上的時間和心血為我們做的蔬菜芝士蛋派,好吃得很。絕對改變了 P 太太和我那不甚熱切的心情。

But I have to say, that vegetable quiche Mr P spent a whole morning preparing for us was so delicious, it  won both Mrs P and I over.


我今次做的這個芝士蛋派是沒有派皮的。它只需要十五分鐘預備,放入烤箱內半小時。用這麼短的時間便能端出一個美麗滋味的烤派來。

The quiche I made this time was without the crust, it only took 15 minutes to prepare, and 30 minutes in the
oven.  In such a short amount of time a beautiful and tasty quiche was ready to serve.


我沒有跨張,那入口的甜潤、鮮美、柔軟和爽脆;比你期待中吃到的 quiche 更美味可口。

I'm not joking, it was so sweet and moist, fresh, soft and crunchy; with all the delightful taste of what you expect from a quiche plus more.

     扣上桌。即時熱食或冷吃都可以。

6.  Garnish with the parsley, the quiche can be served directly from the pie dish, or cover the top with a 
     big plate,  carefully turn it over, then use a serving plate to cover and turn again, and is ready to serve.


老公平時出外吃飯不喜歡點素食的菜式,但對這 crustless vegetable quiche 竟然讚不絕口,還要我以後要再做來吃。

My husband doesn't normally order vegetarian dishes when we eat out, but he loved this crustless vegetable quiche so much that he has given me the thumbs up, and asked me to cook it again in the future.


P 先生夫婦两位都 83 歲了,我已有幾年沒見他們;但我們每年聖誕,都會互相寫信交換近況。今年,我會告訴他有關我的《沒有皮的蔬菜芝士蛋派 》,他可能還會向我要食譜也說不定呢!

Mr and Mrs P are both 83 years old now, I haven't seen them for a few years but we write to each other every Christmas. This year, I will tell him about my 《 Crustless Vegetable Quiche》, he may even ask me for the recipe!

    1. Dear Pamela,

      Thank you for sharing my nostalgic sentiments with me. As we get older, we really do miss our family and friends who are living far away from us and we can’t see often.
      Very glad that you liked this recipe and that you would cook it for your son. I hope he likes it too.
      My husband loves home-cooked food, his judgements I value, I cook and he eats and comments. It’s a good partnership :)
      With warm regards to you and your family too!
