I have to say, the best thing I've made in a while just sort of happened by accident the other day when I was hungry but I didn't have much in the fridge. I have GOT to share it, because I've been eating it for every meal 3 days in a row and that, my friends, is unique.
It's healthyish, high in protein, low in carbs, and SO, so satisfying. And I don't even care that it's uncomplicated and not even CLOSE to homemade.
Crustless Breakfast Quiche
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
You need:
- 1 pie dish
- 4 big eggs
- 1/2 cup queso dip
- 1/3 bag of Jimmy Dean Skillets frozen breakfast starter - it comes in sausage, bacon, or ham but SAUSAGE is by far our favorite kind...
This stuff is great - it has potatoes, green and red bell peppers, onions, and yummy sausage in it... lots of meat, and not too many potatoes! I hate it when they load these things with cheapy potatoes and give you, like, 2 pieces of meat. And Jimmy Dean doesn't do this, and that's why I love the Jimmy Dean Skillets. I don't need to saute my own sausage to feel like a real woman.
Now do it:
You don't need to grease the pie plate unless you are just DYING to spray Pam on something. The fat in the queso will be enough to keep things from sticking.
Spread the frozen Jimmy Dean Skillets mix all over the bottom of the pie plate - as much or as little as you like (I like to just evenly coat the bottom with one layer of the stuff). In a separate bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 1/2 cup of queso together till it's all one cheesy, eggy mess. Mmmm... But don't eat it yet - it's RAW!
Pour the queso/egg mixture on top of the Skillets stuff and pop that pie plate in the oven for 30-40 minutes. You can tell it's ready to come out when the sides are firm and the center is just a little undercooked. It's going to feel like it's too early, but for Pete's sake TAKE IT OUT because the center keeps cooking after you remove the plate!
Give it some time to cool off... THEN, cut it like a pie and serve yourself a piece. If you're a flavor-addict like we are, smother that piece of egg-pie with SALSA and then take a big ol' bite.
Are you in breakfasty heaven? Yes you are!
Now, here are some added bonuses to this recipe:
- the crustless quiche will keep in your fridge for several days, just cover it with foil; it reheats beautifully
- you can take individual pieces to work in plastic bags, heat them for 30 seconds in the microwave, and voila - instant hot breakfast
- you can FREEZE the entire quiche or individual pieces for weeks, maybe even months, and just reheat as needed
