Skinny Southwestern Crustless Quiche Recipe {Vegetarian}
Whip up an easy vegetarian breakfast or dinner with this skinny southwestern crustless quiche recipe. It’s as tasty as it is versatile!
This recipe saved me a couple of nights ago. It was a week full of soccer practices, Kung-Fu classes and parent-teacher conferences. That means one thing…dinner planning disappeared into the abyss, along with vacuuming and dusting. At least, that’s my excuse. Otherwise I’d have to admit that housecleaning is not my forte, and that would be entirely untrue.
I can hear my family’s laughter ringing in my head as I write that.
This is one of those recipes that makes for a healthy brunch recipe on the weekend or a quick re-heated breakfast on school mornings, but also easily crosses over to dinnertime.
Lucky for me!
This version takes on a southwestern flair, with black beans, tomatoes and pepper Jack cheese. However, it is also very versatile and can take on almost every egg-friendly profile.
Do you want to add turkey sausage? Go for it! How about mushrooms and fresh thyme? Sounds good to me! Cheddar and red bell peppers? I’m all over that!
The blacks beans sunk to the bottom when I sprinkled them into the egg mixture and formed a pseudo-crust when baked. It was actually kind of cool! If you prefer that the black beans end up in the middle of the quiche, add them halfway through baking.
