I love basic recipes/formulas that have a million possibilities and this no crust quiche is one of them. The no crust part makes it a low calorie yet high protein breakfast (whole pie: 830 cal. 55 g. protein). Since there are three of us I divided it into six portions so we could have it again for breakfast tomorrow. Cutting it into sixths, each serving is almost 10 whopping grams protein and only about 140 calories. Come on man, that’s just awesome! J and Z both loved how these turned out, J actually said it was cooked perfectly. We easily could have eaten the whole thing, and still would have been under 300 calories with 20 grams of protein each, sorry but I love doing the math on this one because it always comes out a win.

The playroom at the gym where I drop little Z has a couple of girls from Bulgaria Bosnia and Yugoslavia that call me the “cooker man” in a loud and thick accented voice when I walk in the door. That is almost always followed with “what are you cooking tonight cooker man?”. So I respond with my normal “I don’t know yet” but one time I returned the question and asked what they were cooking. The one said “Banica!” (pronounced Ba*ni*tsa). After making her spell it and write it out I googled it, I showed her an image and she said “yes, that’s it!”. Looking into it I noticed it was just like a tiropita and we love those around this house, but instead of being in a little triangle shape it was in this cool spiral tube, nice. This was as great! The ingredients are very flexible/forgiving/adaptable. Add spices, mixed cheeses, whatever. Key are the ones I mention below.

Easy peasy! Want a quick dinner, lunch, breakfast or snack. Grab a piece of (whole wheat) pita bread and top it how you wish. I didn’t feel like making a tomato sauce or opening a whole can of spaghetti sauce for a couple tablespoons so a little K&M barbecue sauce from Spring Hill, Kansas would do me perfect right now. I topped it with goodies I had in the fridge, fresh grated parmesan, freshly crumbled feta, mixed medley cherry tomatoes, and fresh thyme. For sauce you could use anything you want really. White alfredo, buffalo sauce, pesto, nacho cheese, steak sauce, spicy mayo, hollandaise, and on and on…. It’s so easy to make just bake in oven till cheeses melt at around 400 degrees. Done now eat!
