Can I eat just this and a piece of fruit for breakfast if so how much
Hi, Joesph. Two servings of this recipe plus fruit would be fine for a morning snack, but it is too small for an entire breakfast at your current weight (it may sabotage your efforts by slowing down your metabolism).
This looks delicious! So excited for the great recipes with the Trim Down Club!
Hi, Rmcgee. Only if you are sensitive to the yolks or cholesterol in some way or are a diabetic. If you use high-quality eggs, they are better than Egg Beaters for most people.
Will egg beaters be better for you
Hi, Kylie. Yes, you can.
Can I make these then freeze them for different days?
Hi, Nelsons. Just select “egg” in your Menu Planner lists, and make this recipe as your egg.
how do i add this to my breakfast choices?
Hi, Poppydiesel. In general, you can swap in recipes for similar items in the Menu Planner. In this case, it counts for only 1 protein, which is quite simple – it can stand in for a plain egg, or a piece of cheese, etc.
Hi , I have a question. If I made this recipe how do I add it to my meals in my daily food diary?
Regards Poppydiesel
I have made these several times. I used cupcake liners in my pan and they turned out well. I have frozen them and also just stored then in the fridge in a airtight container. They are my favorite breakfast recipe.
Hi, mindful. See my exchange below with pdhforthebetter for tips on freezing this.
can this be frozen
Hi, pdhforthebetter. That’s a good question, and your solution of cooking them a little less ahead of time is excellent. In general, the key to reheating them is LOW heat and a short time period. If you use a microwave, do so at a low power level (i.e. 3 or 4 out of 10) for about 30 seconds.
If you make and freeze these..what do you do when you take them from the freezer. I assume that you bake them from frozen again, but if so for how long? Or can you pop them in the microwave. Also, if you know that they’re going into the freezer, perhaps they only need to be baked for 10/15mins, and when taken from the freezer, baked from frozen for 15/10 mins?
Hi, Pambellis. Parsley, oregano, paprika, and garlic would all complement the onions and black pepper here.
What spices do you use in this recipe?
I’m excited about this one! It’s pretty basic and looks like something that I can use on workdays to make sure I have something in my stomach before heading out the door. I plan to try it out this weekend so I’ll let you all know how it came out.
Hi, FreddiGold. More like an omelette.
Does it taste more like and omelette or quiche?
Really looks and sounds very tasty.
Hi, alconners1. They should be stored in the refrigerator.
I just cooked these but do not know how to store these???
Hi, bekb. Once cooked.
Hi, ‘Can be frozen’ – is it best to freeze once cooked or the mixture before baking?
Thanks
Hi, Helen Bross. This recipe was posted by a Clubmember, and we didn’t want to change it too much. It is fairly easy to scale down (see a guide here http://www.trimdownclub.com/right-sizing-food-preparation/), and of course, you can have more than one serving at a time if your menu pattern allows for more than one protein in a meal (which yours does) – if you are sensitive to eggs, you can just cut back on those in the recipe.
I am one person this is for 12 people
Hi, VandenBerg. Yes, it can definitely be made as one large dish. The baking time is similar.
Looks great! Can this be made in a quiche dish rather than individual portions? If so, how long should it bake? Thanks!
Hi, 6733hbr. Some of these recipes are already in the Menu Planner, and we are working on adding all of them. In the meantime, you can find a similar food in the current list (in the above example, just an egg will do) and make the swap at food prep time.
Does anyone know if these recipes submitted here can be added to my menu?
Looks good
