Hello there! Are you surviving the month of December okay?
I don’t think there is a busier month on the calendar than December! With all the preparations that go into Christmas and the assorted get-togethers with friends and family, the days are jam-packed with activities and tasks.
That’s why when the season is so busy, I love recipes that only take mere minutes to prepare, while looking fabulous to serve and tasting delicious too. When I came upon this recipe for Mediterranean Crustless Quiche in the Burnbrae Farms recipe nest, I knew immediately that it would be a great addition to my collection of recipes for breakfast or brunch, and heck yeah….even a tasty dinner on a busy night! This is a great dish for a potluck…especially if there are some guests attending who don’t eat meat.
The beauty of this recipe is how quickly it comes together, which for an over-whelmed crazy-busy mom is such a blessing. With a carton of Burnbrae Farms Naturegg™ Omega Plus™ Liquid eggs in the fridge, this delicious quiche comes together fast. With it being a `crustless` quiche, there is no pastry to mix up either. It really is a great mix, pour and throw-in-the-oven and forget-about-it-until it`s-ready kind of dish.
You simply add the liquid eggs to milk and some basil to pour over the other ingredients in the pie plate…with no egg shells to crack or clean up. It’s such a time-saver to just mix and pour.
Let`s get to this easy recipe, shall we?

I am in love with the Burnbrae Farms liquid egg products.
With the busy holiday season, not only are they helpful in making quick breakfast & brunches, but also help my active teenagers by giving them a quick and easy meal option when they arrive home late after mealtime has passed. I have seen both my thirteen year old son and eighteen year old daughter reach for liquid eggs to make quick scrambled eggs and omelets. Liquid eggs contain healthy fats, among many other nutritional benefits.
