Broccoli Bacon Cheese Quiche:

WLS portion of 1/8th wedge: Calories 171, fat 10 gr, carbs 4.5 gr protein 15 gr

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp butter
1 small onion, chopped
4 slices turkey bacon, diced
1 10 oz pack frozen chopped broccoli, cooked & Drained
4 large eggs
1/2 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 Cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350, Spray 9 inch pie plate with nonstick cooking spray. melt butter in non stick skillet and saute the onion and bacon over medium heat until golden add broccoli and cook till tender, about 6 mins, then set aside to cool. Beat Eggs, ricotta, salt pepper, nutmeg in large bowl. Fold in the cheddar cheese and cooled veggie mix. Pour filling into pie pan and bake until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 40 - 45 minutes. Cool slightly before cutting into wedges.

This is good but I prefer HAM AND CHEESE so I use recipe above but do following substitutions and it still tastes awesome! I slice up some ham instead of the bacon, I also use 1 Cup EGG SUBSTITUTE rather than 4 eggs and I use the low fat cheddar cheese.

Follow same directions putting in substitutions.... but I usually only cook it for about 35 minutes so watch it as you don't want it to burn.

ENJOY... it's really TASTY!

CUCUMBER & ONION SALAD. I just put it in a bowl and then snack on it.

Recipe:

2.5 Cups thinly sliced, unpeeled cucumbers
1/2 Cup peeled, thinly sliced red onions
1/3 Cup SPLENDA GRANULAR
1/3 Cup White Vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Toss Cucumbers and onions together in medium, nonreactive bowl. Set aside.

Whisk together remaining ingredients in separate bowl until blended. Pour over cucumbers and onions.
Cover and chill 2 hours: stir several times.

Note: To quickly slice cucumbers lengthwise, use a mandolin. Or you can slice them into thin disks.

Make the quiche all the time and LOVE it. That is saying a lot since i HATE eggs.. I have also used regular bacon and just pulled the fat off before I put it in the mixture
