Here’s a quick meal prep idea for your low carb diet. I make a batch of mini crustless quiches most weeks and eat them for brunch or lunch. You can add any vegetables, protein and or cheese to use what’s available and to tailor it to your personal taste. These have ground beef but you can change to ground turkey or leave out the meat completely. Eggs are a great source of protein by themselves.
Basic mini crustless quiche recipe, Makes 12
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a non-stick muffin pan.
Lightly beat 6 eggs, add combine with 1/2 cup of any shredded cheese and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or browned and seasoned meat. Add 1/2 cup of sautéed onions and 1/2 to 1 cup of finely chopped crisp tender vegetables. Season with fresh or dried herbs.
Your vegetable options are unlimited: spinach, arugula, Swiss chard, broccoli, zucchini, peppers, seeded chili peppers, asparagus.
Meat ideas: bacon bits, sausage, ground beef or chicken, even leftover meat.
Cheese: cheddar, Swiss, feta, gorgonzola (probably a small portion will do), Parmesan, chèvre,
Combine the remaining ingredients with your basic recipe, fill the muffin pan 3/4 full. Bake for 20 minutes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.

These are always such a good idea! I like them because you can eat them cold, and if you are in a rush, they are waiting for you!

I agree, although I no longer eat eggs. They can be made with tofu or chic pea flour for vegans but …. I haven’t been able to recreate the taste of eggs and cheese. Thanks for stopping by.
