I had just a bit of asparagus and crab, really not enough to do much with, so I decided to make a crustless quiche in my small cast iron skillet.
Crab and Asparagus Quiche
- 1.4 ounces asparagus
- 2.75 ounces crab
- 1.35 ounces real bacon bits
- .85 chopped baby spinach
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups liquid egg whites (I am all out now! 🙁 )
I just mixed everything together and baked at 375 for 30 minutes.

![P6110014 1/2 of the recipe comes in at 293 calories, 13 fat, 38 protein, 1.7 carbs and .8 fiber!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/p6110014.jpg)
My friend Renee bought this bread for me to try – it is really flavorful!
![P6110018 the whole loaf is only 8 servings!](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/p6110018.jpg)
![P6110017 it has a slightly sweet flavor - with 1/2 tablespoon smart balance light](http://biz319.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/p61100171.jpg)
All together breakfast comes in at 446 calories, 18 fat, 43 protein, 26 carbs and 3.8 fiber. I plan on making the artisan bread tomorrow for my party pizza Friday, and I think I’ll save a portion of the dough to make a quinoa bread.
I expect today to be not as busy as yesterday – steady busy is good! Morning break is over – lunch is a re-run of yesterday – quinoa spaghetti squash lasagna! See you then.
What a yummy quiche! I love that you used all egg whites!
You have such a creative blog! Your food looks delish! I enjoyed reading about you and your family.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
What a great idea for left over crab! I never had made a quiche with crab, always looking to try new things.
What a great looking meal! I’m loving all your creative eggy dishes lately!
That quiche looks fabulous. Do you think it would work with fake crab?
Absolutely! The same “crab” flavor would be there, and of course – cheaper! Let me know how it works out! 😀
hope today is good! the crab/asp quiche looks good 🙂
i always think of quiche as such a fancy thing to make…i love that you whip one up for your mid-week breakfast!!
I’ve never had asparagus and crab in my frittata/quiche before, good idea.
That bread looks good! I’ll look for it the next time I am at Safeway!
That bread sounds great! Quinoa bread? Can’t wait to see that!
