Mini Quiche!



Recommended Posts

In my former non-sleeved life, I used to love to get these decadent quiches from a bakery down the street from my office. My all-time favorite was caramelized onions and bacon. Mmmmm.

After reading the Eggface blog and doing some Googling I made my own version. If you are interested, here you go...

4 tbsp Roasted Garlic & Onion jam (found at Fresh Market in a jar)

3/4 c. freshly grated smoked swiss cheese (found at Fresh market as well)

4 slices turkey bacon

4 eggs

1/2 c. fat free half and half

black pepper - 4 twists of the grinder or to taste

Non-stick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cook the turkey (or regular) bacon in the microwave until crispy.

Crumble bacon into mixing bowl (I used my bullet to make crumbles)

Add all ingredients to the mixing bowl

Stir until the jam is dissolved and everything is blended

Spray the mini muffin pan with cooking spray

Spoon the mixture into the cups

Bake for 30 minutes

Remove from oven and let cool

Once cool, pop out of tins and enjoy!

I think I will do a ham and cheese version later this weekend!

**I forgot to mention this makes 18 mini muffins**

OMG, that sounds awesome! Does the onion/garlic jam give it a sweet taste? Could I just carmelize my own onions instead?

Also, did you do the nutritional info on this? I can do it but am being lazy so hoping you already figured it out. :)

I was lazy too. I'm not tracking calories yet. I am trying to focus on Protein rich foods (It's only day 2 for me on solid food - LOL!) I find that I do better when I focus on one thing at a time with the WLS.

You could certainly caramelize your own onions. The jam gives it that sweet flavor too. I wanted something fast (in case I didn't like it) and the onions would have taken a while. Plus the jam blended easily into the mix so I went with it. Oh and it said "roasted garlic" so I was drooling in the store. :)

I made the baby blueberry mini-muffins this morning and I put my quiches in the oven for a couple of minutes with her muffins. They heated up great! I heated 2 but could only eat 1 before my sleeve was full.

So good to know the fat free half-n-half worked. I followed her recipe for my first batch, and they came out really dry (and I took them out well before the timer went off). I was thinking I needed a creamier base and was wondering if the fat free half-n-half would work. Thanks!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
