A breakfast literally loaded with veggies for the win! This quiche is packed with all the protein from the eggs and produce that you need to start your day off right! (Gluten Free and Vegetarian)
This was what I made the day after all my family went back home, this was my get back on track load my day with veggies meal and it was GLORIOUS! I mean, not only does it taste savory and delicious, but it also made me feel WAY better.
I went from stuffing myself with allthesugar to loading my morning with protein and produce. A definite improvement in my nutrition.
I also topped it with the last little bit of leftover bacon cheddar. Sooooo salty and good. Of course, if you don’t tolerate dairy you can skip the cheddar and just sprinkle a slice of crumbled up bacon on top.
Remember, healthy eating does not have to taste like bland crap! Also, remember there is no such thing as perfect, especially when it comes to eating.
Okay, that’s enough lecturing for today. How is your week going so far? It’s Wednesday, that’s the worst isn’t it? No Monday motivation and the weekend isn’t quite in sight, how annoying! You know what else is annoying?
My rib finally feeling better, only for my other shoulder to get pissed off. We did a million barbell things the other day and I think my body just did not enjoy holding the bar in that position for that long. January is so not the month of motivation for me, apparently, it’s the month of constant injury…. when will it end?!?!?!?!?
You know what’s funny? Mr. Hungry was out of town for a few days and the whole time he was gone my eye twitched like crazy. The owner at my gym was making fun of me saying that it was stress from my other half being gone, I thought that was a hilarious idea up until the eye twitch stopped the day I picked him up.
Well isn’t that eye-opening, ha ha pun intended, see what I did there? I thought it was weird because nothing had changed about my caffeine intake or hours of sleep. So, it would appear, my eye muscles only chose to function appropriately when Mr. Hungry is in town.
No one tell him, that man needs no ego pumpin, that is FOR SURE! I’ve learned a few things from his ego, though. Like how to blame clothes not fitting on the clothes instead of on my body.
Seriously, you know it’s true. When clothes don’t fit men it’s because they are unique and that shirt doesn’t have wide enough shoulders or a slim enough fit. When it doesn’t fit a female it’s because she needs to lose 10 pounds. Ponder that next time you buy clothes or while you are eating your rock star healthy breakfast of broccoli and cauliflower rice quiche.

Nutrition
The shoulder probably compensated for the rib. Every time I’ve been injured something else was injured as a result. Now I have your eye twitch!
lol that’s because your boards are coming up! You are going to do great!
100% compensation. You had an injury free year though, I guess I”ll have to wait till next year for that.
How nutritious! Love that it’s so colorful too! I was just reading an study showing how red and orange colored fruits and vegetables help improving skin tone in 6 weeks. This combo rocks!
Interesting!
Mmmm. I love broccoli quiche. I don’t know why I didn’t think to add cauliflower rice to it. Definitely a better way to start the day than a bowl of cold cereal!
This looks so delicious and I’ve been looking for the perfect egg breakfast recipe!
Enjoy!
Looks delicious! I’ll definitely try it this week. How did you prepare the sweet potatoes pictured on the side?
Hi! I made these: https://hungryhobby.net/maple-roasted-sweet-potatoes/ I just cut them diffently!
Thanks! My family LOVED the sweet potatoes, and my teenager who hates eggs even went back for seconds of the Broccoli & Rice Cauliflower Quiche!!
That’s so great!
Can whole eggs be used instead of liquid egg whites?
Yes, I would sub 1 egg for 1/4 cup egg whites, the nutrition stats will be different though.
Where do you purchase cauliflower rice?
Trader Joes, Sprouts or Costco are the places I get mine, but more stores are starting to carry them. If you can’t find it you can make your own by using the shredder attachment of a food processor!
I was looking for some Broccoli recipes and landed on your blog safely. I think this should be a perfect recipe to start the day. I am gonna pin this to the list. 🙂 Thanks for sharing it Kelli 🙂
Your welcome enjoy!
Thank you!
It’s sad that my kids don’t like broccoli:( This is a great recipe Kelli, as you know I made it a short while ago and it was lovely, i’m happy my kids ate broccoli and cauliflower rice quiche.
Absolutely love your creative idea with broccoli and cauliflower rice quiche! Can I post it on my blog? Thanks for sharing!
I’d love for you to share a photo and if you want the ingredients, just include a link back to the original post for the instructions. Thanks!
Could this be frozen? When I make breakfast casseroles, I always like to double it and make an extra to stick in the freezer.
I freeze quiches all the time!
