An Eggy Weekend Spent....

Craved Fried Eggs this weekend - major craving.... and very edgy for something sugary, fattening, like CAKE.... What does one do....

I went and fried up two eggs with a piece of Low Carb Whole Wheat/Grain Bread toasted... then ran to the grocery store and bought a flat of strawberries and a small container of fresh blackberries... and got over the cake craving... I DON'T even crave sweets - I normally crave things that are full of starch like pasta or bread or something really salty like chips....

I got over it.... and moved on.... and made an incredible crustless Spinach and Caramelized Onion Quiche.

5 eggs
1/2 c. Half and Half
4 c. shredded cheddar and monterey jack mix
1 bag of frozen spinach, thawed/squeezed out all moisture
1 onion - caramelized with a pat of butter and olive oil  sliced in rings
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. Herbs du Provence
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven at 375 degrees

In a greased pie dish, put in spinach, then top with caramelized onions, cheese
In a bowl whip up eggs, half and half, and seasonings, salt and pepper into a custard and pour over evenly the ingredients in the pie dish, I then mix it around so it's down to the bottom, and will cook evenly everywhere...
Bake for 45 minutes or until center is cooked through - let it sit for about 10 minutes, and serve....

Some people use cottage cheese rather than the Half n Half - your choice...

I'm going home at lunch to have a piece that is leftover with a side of some strawberries....
