BREAKFAST QUICHE | BAHAMIAN COOKING

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat and calories.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber and nutrients.

Prepare the pie crust and flatten it out with a rolling pin and oil.

Pre-bake the crust for 15 minutes with parchment paper and beans or rice to prevent bubbling.

Remove the beans/rice and bake the crust for an additional 10 minutes without them.

Cut the sandwich ham into small cubes.

Crack 8 medium eggs into a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup of milk.

Add the ham, celery, and scallion to the egg mixture, and season lightly with black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired.

Grate and sprinkle white cheddar cheese over the filling in the crust.

Bake the filled quiche for 20-25 minutes until set and golden.
