Egg and Spinach Quiche


This is what I'm eating for breakfast this week...usually paired with a side of broccoli and avocado. This morning I added a dollop of pesto sauce on top as well (recipe is a few posts below).

16 Omega Eggs
2 Spicy sausages - cooked
1-16oz package of frozen spinach, thawed and drained
6-8 mushrooms sliced thin
6 green onions, chopped
1 heaping tablespoon chopped basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Crack all the eggs into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine with a fork. Chop up the sausages into small pieces and mix in with the eggs. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix together. Pour this into an 8x8 baking pan, coated with olive oil. Pop into the middle rack of the oven and bake until the middle is set, about 30-35 minutes or so...

SAY WHAT? ...Who knew making a delicious paleo breakfast could be so easy?? You CANNOT tell me you don't have time to make yourself a healthy breakfast when you can pop one in the oven with less than 7 minutes actual prep time, and have it made for the week. I cut this into five servings for a nice, hearty breakfast :).

  1. This is great! Heather and I were just saying that we felt we had the other meals locked down, but Paleo breakfast going straight from the gym to work was proving to be a tougher hurdle. Can't wait to try it.

  2. What was holding you up re: breakfast straight from the gym? Let me know and I will try to come up with other recipes that work well for breakfast....I think next week I'll make a quiche that is more protein dense... :)
