Gluten Free Hope & Sesame Qiche

I did an experiment with my tried-and-true Gluten Free Quiche recipe. I substituted SESAME MILK for almond milk in my recipe and LOVED IT!

Sesame Milk vs Almond Milk Experiment

I used unflavored original Hope & Sesame Milk in the recipe and the swap was not detectable in the texture. I DID NOTICE a slight change in the flavor. Original almond milk (any brand) contains quite a bit of sugar. The use of unflavored sesame milk removed the slightly sweet taste from the quiche that the almond milk provided. I made a second quiche and used original Hope & Sesame and the flavor difference was mitigated. Original Hope & Sesame Milk was a 1-1 match for almond milk in my quiche recipe.

Bottom Line

Quiche is a dish that can take on the flavors of the vegetables that are used in it. The next time I make the quiche I will use unflavored Hope & Sesame if I am trying to lean my dish in a savory direction and the original if I am looking for a sweeter hint in the dish. Hope & Sesame Milk is made from organic sesame seeds. Sesame milk is nutritious, tastes great, and is a better option for the environment as it is made from a drought tolerant crop that revitalizes the soil.

Gluten Free Canadian Bacon Quiche

I used my Gluten Free Quiche Recipe and made a few changes. The quiche was going to be a served for dinner with a desert of Pot du Creme...the recipe and pictures to come!

Base Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 cups milk (I use Almond Milk)
1 ½ cup shredded cheese (I used 1 cup of shredded cheddar blend and 1 cup of Italian blend)
2-3 cups vegetables (I used 1 green bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1/4 a small onion)
1 cup Canadian Bacon diced into small cubes

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Cut the vegetables into small pieces with a knife or mandolin
Combine the eggs, milk, and vegetables in a pan
Spray a pie plate with oil and add bread crumbs (I used Ian's Gluten Free Panko Bread Crumbs)to line the bottom of the pie plate
Bake for 45 - 60 minutes … or until knife comes out clean.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes and serve.

HINT: Slide a knife around edge of pan to get the quiche to slide out without sticking!

Serve with a size salad, side of vegetables, or Gluten Free roll.
