I’m a sucker for a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit, wrap or croissant of some sort for breakfast, but I’m open to other options and a little variety.

Interested in something a little different for my morning meal while shopping at Costco the other day I came across Kellogg’s Special K Crustless Quiche, selecting the sausage, quinoa, peppers, mozzarella & asiago flavor.  Sounds pretty good right?

Here’s the description from the company website:  Bring out the morning person inside of you with Kellogg’s Special K Sausage, Pepper & Cheese Quiches filled with yummy sausage, chopped peppers, mozzarella and asiago—making mornings your new favorite.

No, no it won’t be a new favorite.  These things are NOT a repeat buy.  The cliche’ line of, “Real men don’t eat quiche”….  This is why.

You get the pepper notes right away, there’s a slight hint of sausage and the cheese is notable, but overall this little quiche is less-than-satisfying.  They are just 170 calories each and so two are needed to fill you up for breakfast, but the overall flavor and texture of these things just falls flat.  To sum, I’m not looking forward to breakfast tomorrow, but regrettably, this is what’s on the menu until I finish the box.   

I paid $11.99 for an eight count box at Costco, that’s about $1.50 each.  Needing two to make a meal of it, they are small, over-priced and fail to deliver breakfast enjoyment.  In staying with the healthier breakfast mindset, I’d much rather take pleasure in a Jimmie Dean Egg’wich. 

Kellogg’s Special K Crustless Quiche with sausage, quinoa, peppers, mozzarella & asiago gets just 2 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap stars.  No thanks Kellogg’s, and I’m not interested in the other flavors either.
