It's already in the fridge! I normally don't bother with it cos I am doing quite well at the momentOr buy the crustless version?
Doesn’t it depend on what was in the quiche. If it was The salmon and spinach, most (80%) carbs would be in the pastry. If it was spinach, feta and red pepper or cheese, onion and balsamic vinegar (which tastes sweet) I would suggest slightly less in the pastry (70%).
Then there is the question of whether it was crustless or not and how big your slice was
But unless you are counting carbs in order to calculate insulin dose, how accurate do you need to be?
Yes I don't normally bother I just fancied a slice for tea ... I will experiment and test myself - see how it goes. The hardest bit will be be putting the crust in the bin!If the crust is pastry then it is going to be over half carbs - which translates into far too many carbs for me.
Yup - will test and see what happens. I am always scared of unleashing the processed food bingeing beast!Were you thinking of not eating the crust?
Assuming that the rest of the quiche is not carb heavy then probably 90% of carb content is crust - but you would need to calculate the size of your slice too.
Or make your own delish crustless quichePah! Will have an omelette next time, totally not worth boinging up from 5.2 to 8.1 after 2 hrs. I've been living in the 5s for a few weeks now. You live and learn.
Isn't that just a big omelette??Or make your own delish crustless quiche

Have you ever made any of the fathead type pastry for quiches. I need to get out more , discussing quiche on a Saturday night
Looking at the nutritional information for Higgidy quiches, most of them have 17.3 - 17.5 % carbs.If I had a slice of Higgidy quiche for tea what percentage carbs do you reckon the crust would be ?
Thanks
P.S. This is like an old style maths question about people digging holes . Please show your working out with your answer
I would have agreed but when I looked up one of their crustless quiches it seemed to have only slightly less carbs.Looking at the nutritional information for Higgidy quiches, most of them have 17.3 - 17.5 % carbs.
The Little Spinach and Feta Quiche has a bit more carbs, 19.3%.
I would think the crust makes up virtually 100% of the carbs. The fillings would account for very few carbs.

Yep, I looked at some 'spinach based' pizza shopping today. Looked really good from the box.Doesn’t it depend on what was in the quiche.
