The Crustless Spinach Quiche is on our list of easy low carb recipes. All you need to do is to prepare the quiche mixture and bake it in the oven. That’s it! Literally, just let the oven do all the work while you do something else or just simply relax and wait for the food to be ready.
This time, we used spinach as the main vegetable, but you can replace it with chard. We recommend getting creative with your low-carb vegetables in this dish. It’s a great way to add more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants to your keto diet.
Try mushrooms, tomatoes, purple cabbage, broccoli, onions, and garlic. Different colored vegetables contain different antioxidant carotenoids, which are the plant pigments responsible for its color. You’ll be adding a color pop to your dish while also increasing the anti-inflammatory nature.
We also used cheddar cheese in this recipe. However, you can choose any type of cheese to your liking.
This recipe is excellent for breakfast and lunch. It’s so convenient to bring to work for lunch.
Let’s Do It!
Get all your ingredients ready.
Wash the spinach, let it dry, then cut into small pieces. Chop bacon slices into small squares. Set aside.
In a frying pan on medium-high heat, sauté bacon with a tablespoon of olive oil for 2 minutes then add chopped onion in and stir until the onion becomes tender and transparent. Add chopped spinach to the pan and continue stirring for 2 more minutes then remove from heat.
In a bowl, beat eggs with sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add diced or shredded cheddar cheese in and mix with a spoon.
In a baking dish, combine the egg mixture with the spinach mixture. Mix well using a spoon. You can put a little extra cheese on top of the quiche batter.
Bake for 30 minutes in a preheated 375F oven until the cheese is browned and the quiche is dry and solid.
