Cheese and Bacon Quiches (an LSCDL Recipe)

8 jumbo eggs

1 pound mild or medium cheddar, shredded

1 pound dry curd cottage cheese or 1 – 2 cups yogurt cheese

8 strips of sugar-free bacon, baked very crisp

1/2 - 1 teaspoons white pepper

1 teaspoon baking soda (optional)

1/2 teaspoon salt

Place yogurt cheese or dry curd cottage cheese ina very large bowl. If

using DCCC, blend smooth with a hand blender. Blend yogurt cheese and

eggs into a batter, then add the salt, pepper, baking soda, and shredded

cheese and hand mix with a spatula.

If you do not have a hand blender, you may place about four eggs

and the DCCC in a regular blender and blend smooth, then add the

remainder of the eggs, the salt, pepper, and baking soda and blend again.

Transfer this batter to a very large bowl, and proceed as for the hand

blender directions, adding the shredded cheese, then hand mixing with a

spatula.

Fill 16 muffin cups about two thirds full of cheese and egg mixture.

Crumble half a slice of bacon into each cup.

Bake quiches in a 325°F oven for 35-45 minutes, or until not quite firm.

Turn off the oven, and let sit in the cooling oven for about a half an

hour. Remove from oven, and enjoy.

Variations:

· If you can’t find a

sugar-free bacon, make these quiches without bacon for a quick breakfast

you can heat in a toaster oven while getting dressed in the

morning.

· Omit salt, and substitute

shredded prosciutto or other legal cooked ham for the bacon.

· Use different kinds of

cheeses to your taste and tolerance.

· Add 1-2 teaspoons of your

favorite egg herb mixtures when you add the salt and pepper.

Notes: these originated as travel food when we got tired of cold hard

boiled eggs for breakfast on our numerous trips. They fit about four to a

quart zip top bag, and freeze very well, so we also like the keep them on

hand for a quick lunch, served with a salad.

Idiot Cook's Note: The recipe even works if the creator has a brain short

and doubles the eggs, yielding around 26 quiches instead of 16.
