I need low-carb, non-meat protein suggestions
Other than some version of scrambled/omelet and hard boiled, any suggestions for unique yummy ways to eat eggs? (I do make some of the mini crustless quiches inspired by Eggface's recipes.)

Mmm, eggs.
- Poached, served over some shredded corned beef.
- Pickled, chopped, in a salad
- Crustless quche, loaded with lots of veggies and lowfat cheese (making it a regular sized quiche could get you more protein for your punch)
- Baked into a tomato (minus the polenta in this recipe)

- Egg salad
- Faux french toast (blend one egg with a packet of splenda, and a dash of cinnamon. Beat well and microwave in a ramekin for about a minute until firm. Serve with a Tbsp of SF maple syrup. Sounds gross, I know, but it has the exact same taste and creamy, fluffy texture of french toast.)
