If you can eat eggs...MAKE THIS! :)

But for goodness sakes, don’t call it a quiche! A quiche is light and airy. This bad boy is hearty. This is not brunch food. In fact, I don’t necessarily label it breakfast food. I do, however, label it yummy!

Don’t get me wrong folks. When I say hearty I don’t mean “too heavy to eat." The eggs cook up nice and soft but the volume of protein packed stuff takes it just a bit beyond the realm of a quiche.
Which is why I’ve dubbed it a "Mexican Egg Casserole" (no idea if that is a real term or not…I guess it is now!) Check it out on Bariatric Foodie!

You know I never tried it until after surgery? How did I live this long without it!

I originally bought it to make a WLS friendly version of Melissa D'Arabian's Juevos Rancheros cups but never did get around to it. This is soooooo yummy.

this looks amazzzing!

I just printed the recipe.

however I'm an not a fan of sausage, so how do you think substituting TVP for sausage would work?

Hmmmm…I could see that IF you did the following:

#1 – rehydrate the TVP with water BEFORE adding to the eggs (lest the TVP suck all the moisture out of the thing)

#2 – flavor TVP with taco seasoning

That could actually work. Whoa…that was some serious “on the spot" thinking there!

thats what I was thinking exactly...low sodium taco seasoning and some h2o will make that TVP delightful :)

thanks again!

Looks delicious but where in the world would I find the sausage at? I amazingly found mexican cheese at my Walmart (way to go Minnesota!) but have ZERO clue if I can find this sausage, could I substitute turkey sausage instead??????? Yummy, good thing I bought some more eggs I was dying thinking of eating scrambled yet again!!! Love your recipes, making some tuna boats tonight one of my favorites!!!

I got mine at Aldi. Do you have that store in MN? If not, I'd say hot (or mild) Italian sausage would work the same way.
