I got creative in the kitchen last night because I needed something for my lunch today and I was short on time. This is what I did.
What I used:
spinach
zucchini
shredded cheese
cream cheese (low fat)
eggs
turkey bacon
What I did:
I shredded the zucchini (it was a medium sized one) and squeezed all the water out. Then I used about 3/4 of one of those frozen boxes of spinach (thawed of course) and squeezed the water out of it. I added it to the zucchini and threw in a couple handfuls of shredded mexican 4 cheese blend. I put about a half a block of cream cheese in the microwave for about 45 seconds to soften it up and added it to the bowl. I then cracked 4 eggs over all that and cut up 4 slices of turkey bacon. I mixed it all together really well and put it in a 9' pie plate. I baked it at 375 for 40 minutes. It smelled sooooo good! I cut it into quarters to make 4 servings.
I took this to work with me today for lunch along with a side of broccoli. Let me tell you, it was soooo yummy! The zucchini gave it such a good flavor, everything blended together so well! I really thought I would be hungry all afternoon so I took lots of snacks with me, but it really filled me up and I ended up not needing the snacks!
I fed this recipe in to my myfitnesspal.com account and the stats are as follows for 1 serving:
