Slimming Eats Recipe
Extra Easy – syn free per serving
Original/SP – syn free per serving (substitute the sweet potato for butternut squash)
Green/Vegetarian – use broken up veggie sausages
- 500g of extra lean ground pork, chicken or turkey or broken up veggie sausages
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- ½ tsp of sage
- 1.5 tsp of paprika
- ½ tsp of garlic powder
- ½ tsp of onion powder
- salt and black pepper
- 1 cup (240ml of grated sweet potato (or sub for butternut squash)
- 1 yellow pepper, finely chopped
- 1 red pepper, finely chopped
- 4-5 cups of chopped kale (or other leafy greens, spinach works well too)
- 120ml (1/2 cup) of passata
- 120ml (1/2 cup) of chicken stock
- splash of balsamic vinegar
- 8 eggs
- I make all the filling the night before, then all you need to do is pour on the eggs in the morning and place in the oven.
- Add the ground pork, chicken or turkey and onion to a frying pan and fry until browned and onion is softened.
- Add the sage, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the sweet potato until all is combined. Then add this to an oven proof dish.
- Add the peppers, kale, passata, stock and splash of balsamic vinegar to the pan and heat gently until veg is slightly softened. If you find it dries too much, just add a little more passata and stock, but don't make the mixture too wet, you just want the peppers and kale, lightly covered in a tomato sauce.
- Add this to the oven proof dish, over the pork mixture.
- Once ready to cook the quiche, preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)
- Whisk eggs, season well with salt and black pepper and pour over the layers in the oven proof dish.
- Place in the oven and bake until egg mixture has set on top and is golden, approx 40 mins.
- Slice and serve

Hi, I just made this crustless breakfast quiche and I was wondering if I could freeze it? I am trying to prepare my meals for the next 2 weeks. Thank you.
Hi Laura, I personally don’t ever freeze crustless quiches, as it has never lasted long enough to get any in the freezer. But I don’t see why it wouldnt freeze okay.
