Quiche for Thanksgiving Day Breakfast

Would you like to simplify things in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day?  Why not make breakfast the day before while you are making your pies?  Cheese Salsa Crustless Quiche is very simple and can be cut, heated in the microwave and served on Thanksgiving Day morning. 

Cheese Salsa Crustless Quiche is low carb, easy, and it looks nice.  It will save you lots of time on the morning of the cooking marathon known as Thanksgiving Day.  Everyone can get their own slice when they get up or you can sit down to a family breakfast together.  Either way you can make some toast, pour some orange juice, get some coffee going and you have a nice healthy breakfast with no fussing. 

 I only have one oven and the turkey is in there on Thanksgiving Day so I do as much as possible the day before, including Cheese Salsa Crustless Quiche!

This lens is short and sweet like my Cheese Salsa Crustless Quiche recipe. This is a great make-ahead recipe for Christmas Day, and it is nice enough to serve for company. You could serve it on some festive Christmas themed paper plates and cut way down on the dirty dishes for the day as well. I'm all for making things as easy and stress free as possible.
