Basic Quiche (S)

This is our “retro quiche” from the first BIG Trim Healthy Mama book! You won’t miss the crust on this quiche. Several variations are given in the Recipe Notes area using the ingredients from the basic foundation. You can create a high protein dish for an evening meal or a delicious breakfast that will impress visitors! The various quiche ideas are made even more delicious by finely slicing tomatoes and placing them in a single layer on top. Season the tomatoes generously with mineral salt, black and red pepper, and Italian seasonings. The tomatoes crisp nicely for an added gourmet texture.
