Everything you love about breakfast, all made into this delicious Breakfast Quiche
This was one of those genius moments. I was about to cook a full breakfast when I spotted some cottage cheese that I remembered needed to be use up. So I layered all the components of a great breakfast and the result was amazing!!
Packed with protein, so it is really high satiety and it doesn’t use up your healthy extra b choice, so you have it free to use elsewhere in the day.
Syn value in this Breakfast Quiche will totally depend on the type of sausages you use. For this I use some Turkey breakfast sausages which are 0.5. syns for 2. They are quite small sausages, so you could use just 4 bigger sausages.
The cheddar on top is totally optional, if you don’t want to use up your healthy extra, then you can omit, but personally I find it just adds that little bit extra to this.
This breakfast quiche would be great served with some of these balsamic tomatoes, or feel free to serve this just as i is.

- Add the cottage cheese and eggs with a little salt and black pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture over all the layers in the quiche dish and carefully tip the dish from side to side to move the mixture evenly around the dish.

I love breakfast, my favorite meal of the day! This looks fabulous 🙂
tried this and was disappointed, didnt taste like quiche at all, more like a breakfast casserole.
Can this be eaten as part of the Green plan too? x
it sure can, but you would either need to syn the sausages, leave them out or use a vegetarian alternative.
Thanks, thought that was the case but just wanted to be sure 🙂
Made this for breakfast this morning and used some Linda McCartney vegetarian sausages to keep it free on Green… it was lovely… another winner 🙂
