In my journey through Keto, I’ve been eating a lot of eggs. Probably once or twice a day- Scrambled, fried, egg salad. I’m kind of getting sick of the same quick/easy style over and over again, so I set out to create a Keto-friendly, low-carb Quiche to get my eggs in, feel full, and stay on track with my diet!

Nutritional Information, per serving (1/9th of Quiche): Here’s the math: 55.5% fat, 39.2% protein, 5.3% carbs. I admit, it’s a little protein-y, but still Ketolicious!

Cost me: $1.18 a serving

All you need is:

7 Eggs

~2/3 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream (I used 1/2 cup at first, but added a splash later)

8oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded

8oz Mushrooms, sliced (I used crimini purely because they were on sale.)

10 oz spinach (I used fresh, but frozen should work too)

1/4 of a red onion, chopped finely (Not really Keto-friendly but it tastes good!)

1 tbsp Butter

Salt and Pepper

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350. On the stove, sautee your onions and mushrooms in the butter until they’re cooked down (2 or 3 minutes). While those are doing their thing, in a big bowl, whisk the 7 eggs with the Heavy Cream, with 2 dashes of salt and a dash of pepper (more or less).

Step 2: Take the mushrooms and onions off the heat, and add the spinach. If you use fresh spinach, you’ll have to cook it down on the heat a little bit. Add it to the egg mixture and stir. (Rookie Mistake: So my boyfriend really wanted to help me cook, but we are still working on our kitchen communication. He didn’t exactly process that he needed to cook down the spinach, and added it to the egg mixture when it was still leafy. So the pictures are not what yours should look like! Oh well, we can try again round two.)

Step 3: Add the cheese and mix it up, and pour it into a GREASED pan (we used a square 8″x8″ one).

Step 4: Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes, depending on your pan. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Makes 9 hearty servings, and freezes well!

All together, I spent $10.62 for this recipe. The only “big” purchases are heavy cream (~$2 at Fred Meyer for a little guy) and the cheese ($4 at 7/11). Everything else is a dollar and change or less.

Be sure to leave comments on how the recipe when for you. Good luck on staying ketolicious!
