5. Breakfast sandwiches. In the evening, while you are getting things ready for the next day, grill up a few breakfast sandwiches. Choose whatever you like: turkey slices, ham slices, cheese, tomato, bacon, etc. Cut it into bite size pieces and put it in a container. In the morning, just grab a container; pop it into the microwave for fifteen or twenty seconds and breakfast is served.
6. Quiche. Quiche is a great portable food made of eggs, milk, cheese, whatever ham or veggies you want, and is usually in some sort of crust, so you can slice it and take it away with you, eat it hot or cold, as breakfast, lunch, brunch, or dinner. Our favorite variation is a crustless souffle type quiche with made with a cup of bisquik and a cup of all the other ingredients except the milk, which need two cups.
Quiche Recipe
Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Grease a large, flat pan at least 12 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep. Take a cup of ham, broccoli, spinach, pepper, or whatever you want to put in your quick quiche, and a cup of grated cheese of choice. Swiss, emanthaler, even cheddar works well. Spread these ingredients evenly on the bottom of the greased pan.
Next, put 2 cups of milk and 4 eggs in a blender and beat for 1 minute, then add a pinch of salt and a generous teaspoon of black pepper. Then add 1 cup of bisquick and mix til smooth. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients in your pan, and bake for 45-50 minutes in the 350 F oven. Test center to see if it has set. Can be served hot or cold. If you are going to serve hot, decide if you want it fluffy or solid. If solid, then let stand for about 20 minutes before slicing, and serve with salad.
This quiche works well hot or cold and a slice on the run at breakfast is better and fewer calories than anything you might get on the road.
