Crustless Quiche

Last night I made crustless quiche for the first time. I didn't used to be an egg person but I am starting to be on this low carb experiment. Egg acts as the perfect foundational ingredient when you can't use rice, pasta, or bread.

This picture (source) isn't actually of the quiche I made (we gobbled it up so fast I didn't even think to take a picture), but it came out looking pretty similar. Here's my recipe:


Ingredients:
5 omega-3 enriched eggs
~1/2 cup herb and garlic goat cheese
~1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 bell pepper
5 mushrooms
1 cup roughly chopped scallions
As much baby spinach as would fit in the skillet

I wisked the cheeses with the eggs, and sauteed the veggies in butter until they were all soft. Then I combined the two in a greased up pie pan and cooked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. And it was magical. Especially with a smidgen of pineapple salsa on top. I'm going to make this again!

I'm starting to fall in love with goat cheese. It's tangier and softer than cow cheese and, from what I've read so far, more nutritious. It's also great spead like cream cheese.

I highly recommend eating omega-3 enriched eggs unless you can get local, free range chickens which have access to bugs and such. Purely grain fed chickens aren't going to be as nutritious.
