I am not a very good morning person, so I need quick and easy breakfasts. Before going gluten-free I would have something like the Lean Pocket breakfasts, or breakfast burrittos. I need to figure out a way to do an egg dish I can quickly heat and eat. I am thinking of doing a baked scrable egg kids of thing, but I'm not sure if I need to put anything in as a "binder" for the eggs. I was looking at quiche recipies but all are either in a crust or have flour in them. I know I can substitute, but I thought if I didn't have to, I would rather not. Anyone have any ideas? My thought was to bake them in muffin tins, and freeze. whatcha think? :huh:

Look for a frittata recipe. You'll want something with about a dozen eggs, some cooked vegetables, a big of cheese, and maybe a muffin liner of thinly sliced ham or turkey to substitute for the crust if you dislike browned eggs. You don't need a binder if the recipe doesn't use much milk/cream.

I enjoy them a lot and they freeze well.

I haven't made these for a very long time. I think I used 10 eggs, green onions, ham bits, cheese...and a metal pan. You can cut up/cook the meats/onions ahead of time and store in the freezer until ready to make the eggs. (mine were not as pretty as hers)

I love the idea of using lunch meat to line a muffin tin. Bacon cups would work. I'd make the bacon cups, drain well then put them into a paper cupcake liner and pour in the an egg mixture. There are lots of crustless gluten free quiche recipes online.

I know this wasn't exactly what you're asking for but I just hard boil a bunch of eggs to have on hand for easy breakfasts. I eat a hard boiled egg, a banana or apple and some yogurt most days.

My DD gets the credit for finding me a pic with purple in it. They are the original Tollhouse cookies in the pic. Here is a great recipe though:

I use sorghum, cornstarch and tapioca flours and add nuts sometimes.

(if you very careful place the chips/nuts on top of each cookie yours may look like the pic) (lol)

I put a fritta recipe on my recipe thread, https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/6981-as-promised-a-few-recipes/page__view__findpost__p__630392

You don't have to add anything to make scrambled eggs. I crack 'em into a pan (I use nonstick for eggs), and scramble them with a spatula as they cook. Takes three or four minutes. You can add leftover rice and frozen peas/carrots and gluten-free soy sauce to make fried rice. You can add frozen spinach to make it a more interesting scramble. You can add frozen potatoes o'brian for variety as well. Lots of things to adjust them to being quick and easy. (Why all the frozen veggies? 'Cause it's faster in the morning when you don't have time to dice and fully cook a potato, or to wash and chop a fresh head of spinach.)

you can hallow out some tomatoes (if you can eat them) scramble an egg with some s & p and pour it into the tomato topped with some low fat cheese. bake it while you get ready at 350 for 30 min. or less depending on your oven. :)

This isn't a frittata or something you can make ahead and freeze, but it's fast and nutritious. Like you, I always had a type of breakfast sandwich before going gluten-free. One day at the vet's, I noticed one of the techs eating a panini-type breakfast sandwich and I got this idea which is now what I eat almost every morning. I use Eggbeaters but you could use an egg if you want.

Put about 1/4 cup Eggbeaters or 1 beaten egg into a small bowl sprayed with cooking spray. Cover with a piece of waxed paper and microwave on high for about 1:40, turning once half way through. Remove from oven and microwave 2 corn tortillas until hot, about 30 seconds, turning them over half way through.

Place a slice or two of ham or smoked turkey lunch meat on one of the tortillas. Put the cooked egg on and top with a slice of low-fat American cheese. Cover with the other tortilla and heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds until hot.

You can play around with this by using different meats, cheese and even gluten-free flour tortillas.

Cool Idea!! I just might have to try that, even if I don't use it for the egg muffins!!

OKAY I am really getting hungry with all this food talk :D I always forget about corn tortillas. I've always preferred flour ones, so I forget they are still an option. Thanks all...you've given me some great ideas and recipies (even the chocolate chip cookies!!! :lol: )

Here's something quiche-like and quick. Make it on Sunday and eat it all week.

Vegetables: I thaw frozen chopped spinach, but you can use any cooked veggies you have around.

Cheese: shredded swiss or cheddar or feta or whatever you want.

Meat: Bacon or ham if you have it and want it, if not leave it out.

Grease an 8x8 baking dish or a pie plate.

Spread the veggies evenly across the bottom.

If you have time and inclination, saute some onions or shallots or garlic or leeks and add these. Or just sprinkle with onion powder, etc, or ignore.

Distribute cheese and meat in any combination across the veggies according to your taste.

Beat 6 - 8 eggs with a glug of milk (probably 1/4 - 1/2 cup, I don't measure) and a little salt. Pour over everything else.

Bake at 375 for about 35 - 40 minutes. I will be somewhat browned on top and solid all the way through.

Let it cool, cover it with foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

In the morning, cut it in 4 - 6 pieces. Take out one, microwave, eat. Put the rest back. It will keep all week. I do this all the time and it really keeps me full all morning.

Another quicky I make at night and reheat in the morning is this:

In a 9x13 pan-spray with cooking spray

Dump in a bag of frozen potatoes o'brian, spread out

Beat 12 eggs

Pour over potatoes as evenly as possible

If you do dairy, sprinke shredded cheddar cheese on top

I like sliced tomatoes on top of that

Season with salt/pepper (I like Mrs. Dash)

Bake 375 till cheese is browning and eggs are totally set in the middle. (45min-1 hour)

Makes 6 good sized portions

If you have a little more time, the possibilies of add-ins are endless!!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
