I always though Quishe was a vegetarian meal?!
I was quite surprised to find out that brocolli quishe rocks!
Answers: But we made it in my cooking class recently and it has eggs and milk and stuff. Is it still considered vegetarian?

my fiancée is vegetarian and has schooled me in the whole "what it means to be a vegetarian thing".
there are several kinds of vegetarians:
1. Pescatarian (also spelled pescetarian)
The word “pescetarian” is occasionally used to describe those who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish. Although the word is not commonly used, more and more people are adopting this kind of diet, usually for health reasons or as a stepping stone to a fully vegetarian diet.
2. Flexitarian/Semi-vegetarian
You don’t have to be vegetarian to love vegetarian food! “Flexitarian” is a term recently coined to describe those who eat a mostly vegetarian diet, but occasionally eat meat.
3. Vegetarian (Lacto-ovo- vegetarian)
When most people think of vegetarians, they think of lacto-ovo-vegetarians. People who do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products are lacto-ovo vegetarians (“lacto” comes from the Latin for milk, and “ovo” for egg).
Lacto-vegetarian is used to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products.
Ovo-vegetarian refers to people who do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs.
4. Vegan
Vegans do not eat meat of any kind and also do not eat eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal-derived ingredients such as gelatin. Many vegans also refrain from eating foods that are made using animal products that may not contain animal products in the finished process, such as sugar and some wines. There is some debate as to whether certain foods, such as honey, fit into a vegan diet.
5. Raw vegan/Raw food diet
A raw vegan diet consists of unprocessed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius). “Raw foodists” believe that foods cooked above this temperature have lost a significant amount of their nutritional value and are harmful to the body.
6. Macrobiotic
The macrobiotic diet, revered by some for its healthy and healing qualities, includes unprocessed vegan foods, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and allows the occasional consumption of fish. Sugar and refined oils are avoided. Perhaps the most unique qualifier of the macrobiotic diet is its emphasis on the consumption of Asian vegetables, such as daikon, and sea vegetables, such as seaweed.
Other dietary practices commonly associated with vegetarianism:
Fruitarians is a diet of only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
Macrobiotic diet is a diet of mostly whole grains and beans. Not all macrobiotics are strict vegetarians as some consume fish.
Raw veganism is a diet of fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables.
Dietary veganism: whereas vegans don't use animal products of any kind, dietary vegans restrict their veganism to their diet
Freeganism argues that all commodities produced under capitalism, not only those from animal sources, contribute to exploitation and avoid buying anything, including food. Freegans thus focus on acquiring foods and other commodities by means other than purchasing, including foraging for wild plants and gardening with intent to cause as little violence and ecological destruction as possible through their consumption. While many freegans are vegans or vegetarians, others will eat animal products that would otherwise go to waste under the justification that doing this does not encourage further animal exploitation.
So to answer your question it is considered vegitarian...just a different type.
All quiche is made from eggs.....not vegetarian.
idk i was thinking about that the other day i think it just depends on how strict someone is with following through with being a vegetarian
eggs and milk are fine for vegetarians, yes it is a vegetarian meal because it contains no meat-animal flesh.
However it is not a VEGAN meal - there is a huge difference between vego and vegan that lots of people dont understand really and i didnt until i became vegan myself ...
It depends what else goes into it. But eggs and milk are vegetarian but not vegan.
it is vegetarian. they can have eggs and milk. but it isn't vegan, because vegans can't have eggs and milk.
I used to be a very frequent quiche maker before i gave up milk. I cant seem to get the consistency right with imitation cheese. Of course some vegetarians can do eggs and cheese. And some quiche has bacon in it.
Anyway, on to quiche tips: try it with pepper jack as the cheese.
I usually used spinach as my base, and i highly recommend that if you haven't tried it.
Another one i did that turned out pretty good was spinach with artichoke hearts, the trick with this is to drain them as much as possible, consistency is very important with quiche or it will end up all watery and gross.
And my last tip is to go nuts spicing them. They take spices well so every quiche should be a beautiful and unique snowflake of spice combinations. Have fun.
Eggs and/or dairy are acceptable to vegetarians, but not vegans as others have mentioned. There are many types of quiche, though. They all have eggs, but some have veggies and some have meat (quiche lorraine, for example, has ham or bacon.)
Quiche is lacto-ovo vegetarian as long as there is no meat in it. This would not qualify as vegan because of the eggs and dairy.

EGGS ARE NOT VEGETARIAN; milk is.
