I don't have time to make breakfast

How often have you heard yourself say, "I don't have time for breakfast"?  Do you know the importance of breakfast, understand that a frappuchino is not a good choice; however, still can't get out of bed in time to make breakfast?  Well, Fuel For Life has a suggestion for you!

One of our favorite breakfasts is reheated crust-less quiche or frittata muffins.  This meal only takes 20 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook.  I often make this on a Sunday afternoon and then eat it all week long.

Ingredients: (4 servings)
8 eggs
1 c unsweetened coconut milk (cow's milk or other milk substitute of your preference)
1c sautéed veggies of your choice (i.e. peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, etc.)
1/4c shredded cheese
1/2c egg whites or cooked meat (chorizo, bacon, sausage, etc.) for additional protein.
1 tsp. coconut oil or butter

Directions:
Sauté veggies in 1 tsp. coconut oil or butter.  Mix eggs with milk and egg whites (if using them).  Put veggies / meat into bottom of square baking dish or individual muffin tins.  Pour in egg mixture and top with cheese.  Bake for 30-45 minutes at 350 or 375.  

Serve with a side of berries or 1/2 grapefruit for a very balanced, nutritious, and delicious breakfast!

Healthy Tip:  By varying your veggies and cheese, you’ll not only get a variety or nutrition, but you will also not get sick of this dish!  A spinach, mushroom, and feta quiche is much different than an onion, pepper, chorizo, and cheddar quiche!

ENJOY!!
