Marie Wallace's Quiche Marie

from the Dark Shadows Celebrity Cookbook

Marie Wallace, in addition to being a marvelously talented and beautiful actress, has been an innovator throughout her career, and no less so in the art of cookery than in her other pursuits.  Her recipe for Quiche Marie, as she calls it, was created in her early "pure vegetarian days" and it makes a fine addition to the Dark Shadows Celebrity Cookbook.  The filing is an interesting mixture of eggs, cheddar cheese (I used low fat), carrot juice, chopped cashews, and sliced zucchini.  Freshly grated nutmeg is an unexpected and aromatic addition.  I took the liberty of adding an innovation myself by making it in a whole pie crust, something that I know Marie would endorse.  It baked to a nice deep golden brown and was very tasty and satisfying without being too rich or heavy.  This quiche would make a great lunch or light supper with a salad of mixed greens.
