Hey guys!
Recently I've been portioning and freezing crustless low-carb/high protein quiches. I'm having a problem with the egg consistency, though. Even if I use a vacuum sealer, the consistency when they defrost is... weird. Any suggestions for freezing single portions off egg-like food thingers?

Hi Carol

Hi All,
This is one of my snack foods. You could use any dressing that appeals to you. I like to dressing made with plain greek yogurt because it keeps the calories low. Its sweet and crunchy with the tang of the cranberries.

I've tried several crustless quiche recipes by substituting plain greek yogurt for the cream or mayonnaise in the original recipe. Its not as creamy as the original, but I find it tasty and satisfying. Here's my favorite.
