First, I looked at a lot of recipes for different kinds of quiche. Bacon quiche. Quiche Lorraine. Veggie Quiche. A lot of different kinds of quiche.
Second, I decided to build my own recipe, but adapt it a little bit.
I knew that I wanted to make it crustless to cut down on the calories, and then I decided to make it with mostly egg whites to cut back on the cholesterol.
I am really happy with this recipe, it was a sooo good and only 200 Calories a slice.

Looks tasty! Is this Canadian Quiche because of the bacon? Or is this style of quiche really common 'up there'? :D

It's Canadian because of the bacon. I have NO idea what kind of quiche they eat in canada. :)
Great job on your first quiche! It looks delicious. I've never tried ricotta in quiche, but I have some that needs to be used, so I might try it soon. Thanks for participating in the quiche challenge.
