Two, 3-blocks meals
Ingredients:
2 whole eggs
4 egg whites (Or substitute 1 cup egg substitute for egg whites and whole egg)
2 oz skim mozzarella
1 1/2 cups chopped portabella or button mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
3/4 cup chopped tomato
6 macadamia nuts, crushed
Basil, to taste
Parsley, to taste
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
2 apples, sprinkled with cinnamon
Instructions:
Use nonstick mini bread loaf pans or coat each with a little vegetable spray. Layer vegetables in two mini bread loaf pans. Layer half the cheese on top of each loaf. Beat eggs and add seasonings. Pour one-half of the eggs over each pan and sprinkle with macadamia nuts. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until brown on top. Makes two mini quiches, each with 3 blocks protein, 3 blocks fat and 1 block carbohydrate. Eat one with an apple and cinnamon for a 3 block complete breakfast. (also an ovo- lacto vegetarian meal). (Editor's Note: Tracie's recipe originally called for 2 teaspoons margarine, dotted on top of the quiches. Through e-mail correspondence, she told me she used the margarine in case the quiche stuck to the sides of the pan. We agreed the macadamia nuts would be a good substitution. Experiment with vegetable spray on the pans to prevent sticking.)
