Sharing a yummy quiche recipe!

Basic Quiche Recipe

  • 8oz Cream Cheese (fat free)
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tbs milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded or grated cheese

Put cream cheese (or cottage cheese) and eggs in a blender or food processor and mix until incorporated.

In a bowl add all your fillings for your quiche.  You can add anything in your fridge!  Meats like ham, bacon, sausage - even "faux" meats would work here.  Any veggie and cheese you can think of would work too.  Pour egg mixture into bowl and fold ingredients together before pouring into your baking dish.  It's possible you could even add some protein powder as long as it was unflavored.  I just don't know how much it would change the texture.  I may give it a try though!

Crust options can vary too.  You can go for just a regular frozen pie shell, or you can use a non-stick spray for a crustless version.  Another option is to add a crumb bottom to the "greased" pan using bread crumbs, crushed crackers or even ground up fiber cereals.  It all depends on what you like and what you want to put in your body for nutrition.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Here are some options I made this weekend for Mother's Day Brunch:

  • Spinach, Feta, Garlic, Onion with Parm and Romano Cheese
  • Black Pepper Bacon (crumbled), Asparagus, and Swiss Cheese
  • Chopped Apples with Camelized Onions and Brie
