FREGGIE CHALLENGE - DAY 6

Eggs

Eggs are protein powerhouses.

Not only are eggs packed with vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, but they are also considered to be one of the best sources of protein available.  One medium egg has over 5 grams of protein.

Another great benefit of eggs is that they are very versatile.  They can be boiled, scrambled, poached, fried, or included in other dishes.

One of my favorite dishes is a crustless broccoli quiche.  This is a great breakfast meal.  Very tasty and filling.  I made up this recipe for 2 servings. You can double to make more if needed.

3 eggs
1 ½ cups of broccoli
1/2 cup feta cheese
1 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic (diced)
¼ cup onions (chopped)
1 tsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste


Pre-heat oven to 415 degrees. Sauté onion and garlic in oil. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix.  Pour mix into 2 lightly greased ceramic baking bowls (1/2 of mix in each bowl).  Bake for 15-20 minutes.

You don’t have to use broccoli.  Any vegetable will work.  Try mixing and matching ingredients to find your favorite tastes.
