A Lighter Take on A Holiday Brunch Classic

With the holidays right around the corner family breakfast gatherings and brunches are in full swing. This recipe is sure to impress even the pickiest eater in your family and you can feel good about serving up this guilt-free quiche recipe.


Skinny Sundried Tomato Sausage, Mozzarella, and Broccoli Crustless Quiche
Serves 4-6
Prep time: 20 Minutes, Cook time: 35-40 Minutes, Total time: 1 hour

3 links precooked sundried tomato and basil chicken sausage diced into small pieces (either Trader Joes or Al Fresco brand works well)

1 medium onion chopped

2 T low fat mayonnaise (I used smart balance mayo)

6 T Fage 0% plain Greek yogurt

½ cup non-fat milk

3 eggs

1 ¼ cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

1 cup uncooked broccoli florets cut small

½ t dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add diced chicken sausage and sauté for an additional minute or until the sausage is slightly browned. Transfer mixture to a colander and let drain. In a medium mixing bowl combine mayo, yogurt, milk, oregano, salt and pepper. Once well combined mix in the eggs, broccoli, and 1 cup of the cheese. Pour into a pie plate (not deep dish unless you double the recipe). Bake for 35-40 minutes or until edges are browned, remove from oven and quickly sprinkle on the remaining ¼ cup cheese. Let sit at least 5 minutes before serving so that ingredients will hold together.

Happy Holidays, I hope all you skinny bitches and gents enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
