"Healthified" Cheddar and Bacon Quiche

What is "Healthified"?

We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.

Success

For the best results we recommend using a mixture of eggs and egg whites. We tested this recipe using fat-free egg product, and found the flavor to be a bit bland and the texture slightly curdled.

Time-Saver

Look for cooked bacon strips near the lunch meat items at the grocery store.

I was surprised at how much I liked this. I really didn't miss the higher fat pie crust at all. It was super easy to put together and reheated well the next morning. I substituted turkey bacon and 2% colby jack cheese because it's what I had and thought it tasted great (and lower the calorie content even more!)
