31 days: Quiche for breakfast and supper


There's hardly a week that passes when this tasty recipe isn't on the menu.  My favorite part about making this is no one (not even the green food hating 9 yr old)  ever complains about eating it two meals in a row.  It's often made for supper and served for breakfast, and vice versa.


Crustless Breakfast (and supper) Quiche
12 large portions

10 eggs

2 c sauteed kale or
1 pkg frozen spinach (thawed and drained)

16 oz cottage cheese or sour cream

2-4 c shredded cheese

1 stick melted butter

1 can chopped green chilis

2 cloves garlic, pressed

Salt and pepper

Optional: browned sausage, olives & peppers

This is such a delicious and forgiving recipe, my mouth is watering as I type.  I have made it a dozen different ways - even forgotten the cheese once and there's just no way to mess it up.   
Preheat oven to 350.  Basically all you do is mix eggs and cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Then add spinach or kale, chilies and cheese and garlic.  Stir in melted butter and pour into a 9x13 pan. 
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until slightly browned around the edges.  

This meal will make you smile for a variety of reasons: you get two tasty, healthy meals for minimal effort and your non-salad, non-spinach eaters will gulp it down. It's not like any quiche you've ever tried.


Go on and add it to your menu - you won't be disappointed!

Oh that sounds so easy! This could be a recipe that I actually try. Maybe my stomach won't be rumbling this week...

P.S. I'm so glad you include kale. I love kale, and it should go in everything! :D
