Just break eggs into a glass measuring cup to equal the amount.  Should be 2 whole eggs but you may need an egg white as well to get the right measurement.  

I do it all the time.

Please let me know how many eggs to use

in place of the 2 cups egg substitute. I

would like to make this with eggs. Thank you. Terri

My family loves this recipe!! I decided to use 1 cup egg whites, and replace the other cup with 4 eggs. I've tried both an 8 and 9 inch pie shell, while reducing the spinach to 5 oz., and I STILL can't fit all the egg mixture in the crust. I'm afraid to cut back on the eggs because I don't want to end up with too much seasoning. Has anyone else had this problem?

My husband and mother love this quiche. I used fresh spinach and sharp white cheddar cheese instead of swiss; also used all white instead of egg substitute and no cottage cheese and turkey bacon. It was wonderful.

I must agree with vieux as I too much prefer imported, real cheese, bacon and eggs. If you are going to make quiche I think REAL is almost a requirement. But to the recipe I've been making this recipe, sans the diet, lite and fat free stuff, I've also used other vege's whatever I have left over, for years and all of my family and friends love it.

It sounds good and I intent to make it but I personally don't like the egg substitute. If I want to replace it with eggs how many eggs should I use?

excellent recipe. I've been making the same thing for years although I lean towards full fat cheeses simply because I prefer not to eat wax. Given your penchant for low fat tasteless stuff I find it curious that you add salt. there should be enough in the turkey bacon (shudder) and cheese to satisfy.

My husband and I loved this! You can easily add some extra veggies on hand--mushrooms, asparagus, corn, etc. My husband couldn't believe something that tasted so good was nutritious!
