Here's a secret: until a couple of days ago, I'd never tasted a quiche. As I've previously mentioned, I'm a perpetual dieter. As such, the typical fattening quiche baked in an even-more fattening crust has always been off limits to me. Until recently, when I was bored of everything I usually made, and decided to get creative. "I'll make a low fat quiche," I told myself. "And who needs a crust anyway?" Erm, me? But I was hungry. So I mixed up the batter and was about to dump it into a muffin pan, when I noticed some whole wheat wraps lying on the counter. Thank heavens for people who don't put things away.
