Crustless Egg & Ham Quiche - Echoes of Laughter

I hadn’t made a quiche for a long time when this delicious-looking recipe from the Burnbrae Farms Recipe Nest really caught my eye…Crustless Egg and Ham Quiche.

With just eggs, spinach, ham, cheese and milk, it makes a great meal for my whole family, including my daughter who is eating a gluten-free diet.

This tasty quiche made me soon! It was that good! And it reminded me that I need to make quiches like this a lot more often!

With Family Day and a long weekend coming up, I want to get a few meals in the fridge to keep my family going with healthy choices to sustain them for their busy schedules.

This crustless quiche is not only low in fat {with the absence of a fat-laden crust), but tastes delicious and makes a great breakfast, lunch or dinner…especially when you add a salad and some fresh fruit.

{If you are my son, two pieces after hockey at 10 pm is great too!}

I eat eggs every morning for breakfast and my daughter eats eggs for lunch for quite often too.

I recently had a friend ask me if I was worried about eating eggs every day and it’s effects on my cholesterol levels and heart health.

I shared with her that decades of research from the Framingham heart study have shown no relationship between egg intakes, blood cholesterol and heart disease.

I love eggs because they are the best source of protein, loaded with 14 essential vitamins and minerals {essential means that these are things that your body cannot make…you must consume from food sources), don’t spike blood sugar levels, are low in saturated fat , and contain no trans fat.

Taking care of your heart means making sure you are making good dietary choices with foods that are not processed, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight and reducing stress.

Eggs are one of nature’s most nutritious foods and Canada’s Food Guide recommends two eggs as a serving from the Meat and Alternatives food group.

Burnbrae Farms has recently launched this brand new product…Simply Eggs,

This delicious liquid egg product is made with 100% whole eggs…simply egg yolks and egg whites, with no other added ingredients.

I love how fast & easy this product is to use. Simply pour into a heated pan for super quick scrambled eggs or add to a pie pan with a few other ingredients for a tasty quiche. It can also be used in baking with a quick conversion measurement to replace whole eggs right on the carton.

And you know what else is great about this product? My mom has arthritis in her hands and sometimes cracking eggs in the morning is not easy. Liquid eggs in a carton are the perfect solution for her and others like her with hands that don’t work well enough to crack eggs sometimes.

And my teens love pouring eggs in a frying pan for a quick omelet. Hungry teens love fast and easy.

In fact, liquid eggs are the new ‘fast food’ in our house. No drive-thru food for this family!

Now let’s get back to that quiche, shall we?

Here are the ingredients needed to make this wonderful quiche!
