I have been on a permanent quest to find the perfect eggbeater quiche recipe. As a self-professed breakfast food, cheese, and egg lover, quiche represents all that is right and good in a culinary concoction. Traditionally quiche is not a healthy option, what with all the cream and cheese that typically goes into it. I have experimented with different versions of a healthier quiche for years, but a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon the perfect mixture, and I am pleased to share it here with all of you.

This is a recipe my Irish aunt gave me. Her husband is Italian, and she developed this recipe to blend things they both like. It is a variation of Shepherd's Pie. For richer flavor, substitute beef broth for water in gravy.
