Psst…I have my own quiche recipe with a bacon lattice on top in my cookbook, Necessary Food!
I’d like to share with you one of my family’s favorite recipes. This quiche recipe comes from the magazine Quick Cooking and the recipe can be found here. It’s super easy, and translates well to THM if you leave the crust off (as I did) or make a THM-friendly one.
You can use all kinds of different vegetables in it: mushrooms, spinach, etc., so long as they’re non-starchy (and make sure that they’ll cook in the allotted cooking time).
The recipe calls for mustard to be spread on the crust. I didn’t use a crust, so I just left the mustard out and drizzled it on top when I was ready to eat. You can very easily leave the mustard off, trust me. I happen to be obsessed with mustard, so the more the better, in my opinion.
(Without the crust, the quiche recipe is low-carb, sugar free, and an S for Trim Healthy Mamas. Also gluten and nut free if using non-contaminated ingredients.)
Enjoy your quiche!
So I’m used to quiche recipes using a bit of liquid in with the eggs… how did this recipe pan out (ha) with no real liquid? Was the quiche really firm? We like a more springy quiche, so perhaps almond milk?
We’ve been making it for years and love it! I’ve never used a quiche recipe with milk or other liquid in it and I imagine that would make it very soupy. In this case, the fresh veggies add a lot of juice themselves, so I wouldn’t recommend adding any more. I wouldn’t say it’s really firm.
Love “Necessary Foods.” So many great and easy recipes. Thank you for publishing it.
Thank YOU for buying it! I’m so glad you like it!
I can’t wait to try this, but i’m looking for low carb & low cholesterol recipes
I made this tonight (it was delicious!) but I may have eaten too much! Any idea how many servings this should actually be.
A 9″ pie plate is usually 6-8 servings, but it all depends on what else you had with it. 🙂 As long as you eat until you’re satisfied but not stuffed, you should be fine.
