Yummy Quiche

Naturally low carb too!

Quiche is so yummy and versitile!  My whole family loves it.   If you don't like certain veggies then just replace them with ones you do like!  This particular method is low carb and not watery.  It is yummy warm or cold straight from the fridge.  You can cut up individual portions (for us that is 1/4 of the quiche) and freeze in baggies.   I like to make two-four at a time so I can freeze some.  You could even make this the day before Christmas.   Here is the basic recipe which you can adapt to your own preferences...

BASIC QUICHE

4-5 eggs 

1/2c heavy cream (or low carb milk but it isn't as rich)

1/2c. mayo (key ingredient)

1 1/2 c. cheese (shred it yourself)

1/2 - 1c. cooked meat

1/2 - 1c. finely diced, cooked veggies

seasonings like a splash of worcestershire, dash of salt & pepper, garlic granules, steak seasoning, a drop of Young Living essential oils (we have a whole line of oils for cooking), whatever you like.

Preheat oven to 425'

Grease pie plate for crustless quiche or prepare crust of your choice (low carb or regular)

Beat eggs, cream, mayo and seasonings together in a large bowl.

Stir in remaining ingredients.

Pour into crust and sort of pat the filling around to evenly distribute the chunks.

Sprinkle with flax seeds or more cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes.  Reduce heat to 350' and continue baking for 30 more minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes before serving.

***VARIATIONS

     

The above used half a box of thawed & drained chopped spinach, 1 c. ground beef, 1/2 c onion, and cheddar cheese.  Some other options are:

Spinach, sausage, swiss cheese
Black beans, taco seasoning, avocado, olives, chilis etc for mexican theme.  Black soybeans are low in carbs.
Ham & broccoli (with this one I use 1/2 c diced ham and 2 cup broccoli cause ham is salty)

Green Chili & Chicken
ETC.

*You can also double the recipe, bake it the same in a cake pan and skip the crust.
