Note

From page 319 of the original Trim Healthy Mama book:
From this basic foundation, you can create many high-protein quiche dishes for your evening meal by adding any of the following ideas to your skeleton recipe:

  • Chopped spinach and bacon bits.
  • Turkey or chicken sausage with finely cut green onion and green peppers.
  • Canned salmon and spinach (omit cheese for this one).
  • Ground beef and drained small can of green chilies and tomatoes.
  • Sliced natural deli meats, olives, and mushrooms.
  • Any leftovers such as baked or pulled chicken, broccoli, and finely diced onion.

The above quiches ideas are made even more delicious by finely slicing tomatoes and placing them in a single layer on top. Season the tomatoes generously with sea salt, black and red pepper, and Italian seasonings.  The tomatoes crisp nicely for an added gourmet texture.  However, we only do this when we have time on our hands or want to impress visitors!

Please Note:  The different quiche flavor variations listed above will not appear on the grocery list of the Menu Builder -  you'll need to add the option of your choice to your menu/grocery list.
