What makes quiche a good breakfast food?
— It can be prepared a day or a few days beforehand.
— You can stay in bed until 10 minutes before breakfast as it takes only 10 minutes in the toaster oven—much less time in the microwave.
— All the dishes were washed when the quiche was made, hopefully.
— It contains eggs, cream or milk, cheese, and a meat or vegetable, common breakfast ingredients containing low-carb protein and fat.
— A piece about 1/6 of the quiche can last 4 hours before hunger strikes if you don’t bicycle 10 miles to work.
— It is easy to make.
This quiche has no crust per se, but the way it is made, by the laws of physics, a crust appears. It’s not really a crusty crust but more like a soft lining on the bottom of the dish.
Quiche Recipe

Cooking time: 40 minutes
1 1/2 to 2 cups grated Gruyere, Swiss, or aged cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons coconut or olive oil
1 onion (medium size), diced and sautéed in coconut or olive oil for 5 minutes
1 cup chopped mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, or celery
1/2 cup chopped ham or bacon pieces (optional)
Sauté onion in oil for 5 minutes. Add vegetables and meat and sauté for another 5 minutes. Put mixture into a deep-dish pie pan and top with cheese.
Egg Mixture:
5 eggs, beaten
1/2 pint cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons cornmeal

Bake in oven for 40 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
The cornmeal sinks to the bottom making the faux crust.
