Cottage Cheese Quiches!



 
 
Weekend off work so i thought its maybe about time i started trying some new Slimming World friendly recipes. The group that i attend has a fantastic Facebook Group where members can get support and inspiration from other members. People also post pictures of food they are having and things they have made and how they have turned out. There is one member on the group, im sure she will know who she is if she reads this, is so very inspirational. Her food pictures and recipie ideas are brilliant and really give you different ideas on what to try next.
This recipe is one that i have seen her produce and thought they look delicious so thought i would give them ago. So here is the recipe for Cottage Cheese Quiches and here's how you too can have a try.
Ingredients
4 medium eggs
300g Fat Free Cottage Cheese (I used onion and Chive Flavour)
Your choice of filling maybe you could add some superfree into them?
 In mine i added Ham, Mushrooms and Tomato.
 
Method
1. Prehat your oven to Gas Mark 5 and in a deep muffin tin spray the little compartments with a little fry light.
2. Chop your fillings up so that they are small enough to go into the tins without over filling them.
3. In a bowl blend together your eggs and cottage cheese until it is fully combined.
4. Place your filling into the muffin tin and then carefully pour in you egg/cottage cheese mixture so that each compartment is well covered.
5. Place them into the oven for approx 30mins or until they are firm and golden brown.
6. Remove them from the oven and then you can either serve them warm or cold the choice is yours.
 
The above recipe should make about 10 individual quiches and the best bit is they are totally syn free. They can be enjoyed as part of a meal, maybe serving them with a nice salad or can be used as a snack. Due to them only being muffin sized they are also perfect to add into your lunch bags for work.

Fast and simple lunch idea!



 
 
This is a fantastic, tasty and really quick lunchtime idea which really is ideal for anyone who doesn't know what to take to work for their lunch or simply someone who hasn't got time to stand and mess around creating a lunchtime meal.
The picture above shows my idea of a mock "stir fry". It basically consists of a Batchelors Deli Noodle Box and some quick, microwavable veg.
The Deli Boxes come in 4 brilliant flavours, firstly there is Mild Curry, BBQ Beef and Chow Mein all of which are brilliant at only 1.5syns per box and the fourth one is Chicken flavoured which is 2 syns per box.
How can you create this filling lunchtime meal? Cook your Deli box according to the instructions on the box and then i bought Tesco Microwaveable vegetables, which come in a number of different varities, all adding to your intake of that very important Superfree foods of course. Simply cook your veg as per the packet instructions, once they are cooked and your noodles are soft, mix everything together to create your quick, simple meal.
The whole thing takes aprox 5mins to make so everyone can squeeze in this brilliant dish antime of the day.
