This is a hearty recipe to make on the weekend to store for easy weekday Breakfast or mini-meal.

Crustless Quiche - aka Baked omelet
Makes 6 mini-quiches or one small quiche

They freeze and microwave well.

Based on 6 servings:
Cal: 180
Fat: 8g; Carb: 9g; Pro: 20g

2 whole eggs
4 egg whites
¼ c. milk
¼ c. whole-wheat flour
4 oz shredded 2% cheese
6 oz lean Canadian bacon – chopped
1 pkg frozen chopped broccoli – thawed and drained
4-6 oz thinly sliced deli ham (optional - included in nutrition info)

Whisk eggs. Add milk. Add flour.
Add cheese.< /span>
Add veggies and meat.< /span>
Season to your liking.
Place mini-quiche pans on cookie pan and spray lightly. (I use an air-pressure sprayer because I don't like propellant)
Line pans with deli ham or other thin meat if desired.
Scoop egg mixture into each pan.
Bake at 325-350 for 20 minutes. Adjust time as needed.
Quiches are done when not runny in center. Will firm up upon resting.
When cool, you can wrap individual quiches to store in the refrigerator or to freeze. I icrowave them on 50-60% power if from the refrigerator and 30% power if from the freezer. Times vary of course depending on power of the microwave.

The deli ham “crust” is optional. I like the presentation.
Adjust the whole eggs and egg whites to your liking. Equivalent to 4-5 whole eggs depending on preference.
Can double the cheese.
Can substitute other meats such as bacon or chicken or go meatless.
Can substitute other veggies such as chopped spinach (squeeze well), artichoke hearts, peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc. I recommend cooking fresh veggies slightly before adding to mixture. Make sure they are drained.
Can use mini-quiche pans or a regular quiche pan. Can also use a muffin tin. I recommend non-stick pans lightly sprayed.

The other day I realized that since surgery I have not woken in the middle of the night feeling starved. The biggest change for me is that my hunger now feels what I think is "normal". Yes, I get hungry, very hungry at times, but I should get hungry considering I'm depriving my body of the calories it wants to maintain. The big change is that I no longer feel starved and deprived.
Missjoany-that's great news that your port site seems to be healing.
KittyKat56 - best wishes with your port. I'm curious how he's hitting metal. I thought the device was all plastic. I could be wrong.
