Endless Variation Quiche
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found this recipe on another website, and it credits "MilliB". Since I need to eat protein for breakfast, I'm definitely going to try it!
Endless Variation Quiche
I've made a few different variations (usually depending on what I have in the house). It is good and satisfying. I double the recipe to use throughout the week. One serving between two slices of lite toast or a lite bun, makes a quick on-the-run breakfast.
1 cup eggbeaters (2 pts.)
1 cup 1% or fat free cottage cheese (3 pts.)
cheese – any kind – various cheese have different amounts for different points – I use 4 pts. worth of whatever kind of cheese
Optional – meat substitute – I've used sausage, bacon, turkey, gardenburgers, etc. – 3 pts.worth
Cooked vegetables cut into bite size pieces – about 3 cups worth or a 12 oz. package of chopped spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Drain whatever you're using well – I press the water out of the spinach or broccoli
Seasonings – again, experiment, nutmeg is good with spinach, you can add chili powder, etc.
Mix it all in a bowl and pour it into a cooking spray sprayed 9 inch pie pan or an 8 inch square pan. Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the center is pretty firm and puffy. (It will un-puff when it cools down) This whole thing is 12 points if you use the meat option, 9 if you don't, and makes 4 good size servings.
Here's some of the options I've tried:
Spinach with bacon, feta cheese
Mushrooms with cheddar
Sun dried tomatoes (soaked and chopped first), mushroom and zucchini with pepper jack
Shredded zucchini, Greek style garden burger, and more feta
Blue cheese with broccoli
