LOW-CARB BACON AND EGG QUICHE

Low-Carb Bacon and Egg Quiche image

I'm trying to go low-carb, and I found this recipe on Recipegal.com. It's so easy to make and tastes great! We use cheddar as nobody likes swiss cheese but me. It originally calls for a quiche pan, but I just used a 9-inch pie pan with great results! I also sprayed it with non-stick canola cooking spray, instead of the butter as the recipe originally called for.

Tips:

Use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will give your quiche a more satisfying texture, and it will also be less likely to shrink and curl up in the oven.
Don't overcook the bacon. You want it to be cooked through, but not so crispy that it's hard to chew.
Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give your quiche a richer flavor and a more tender texture.
Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough.
Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your quiche. Use a cheese that you enjoy the taste of and that melts well.
Don't overfill the quiche crust. If you overfill it, the quiche will puff up and may overflow during baking.
Bake the quiche until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center of the quiche should come out clean.
Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This low-carb bacon and egg quiche is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and reheated later. The quiche is also a great source of protein and healthy fats, making it a nutritious choice for those on a low-carb diet.
