Easy Breakfast From Anne: Breakfast Quiche Recipe!

Introductions from Anne

Hello! My name is Anne Smith and I am the newest RD on the block. I just passed my registered dietitian exam mid summer and I couldn’t be more excited! I have, in part, Julie to thank for it! After a 2 week community rotation with her and Cancer Services, I felt more confident and ecstatic to start my career as a dietitian! I currently work as a clinical RD in Raleigh and I am loving every minute of it!

With that said, when I tell people about my newest accomplishment of becoming a registered dietitian, you wouldn’t believe how fast the questions start coming!

“Is gluten bad for you?”
“What about a low carb
diet?”
“Is avocado really good for you?”
“What do you eat?”

The worst thing I hear is “I don’t have time for breakfast”.

As many dietitians will agree, breakfast is a very important part of your day! Check out Julie’s last few articles, in case you missed them:

Breakfast not only provides you with essential nutrients and energy to end your overnight sleep-fast (as I like to call it), it can set the mood for the whole day! The trouble is having time in your busy mooring to make a healthy breakfast rather than grabbing a calorie-dense doughnut or cream-cheese smeared bagel from the local coffee shop.

So, with the input of my sister, I created this delicious Crust-Less Quiche recipe that you can make ahead of time and just warm up a piece in the morning. To aid in the eating process, you can wrap your piece in a whole wheat tortilla and have a little Quiche wrap during your morning commute.

This recipe is packed with protein to help you feel satisfied longer. Feel free to change the cheese or veggies or add more of your favorites!
