Quiche Recipe Ideas

dish that adds grass-fed beef seasoned with chili powder and other “Tex Mex” spices combined with eggs and a few other veggies on a “crust” made of spaghetti squash.

Quiche is really the perfect solution for lots of food dilemmas. Healthy make-ahead breakfast that includes greens? Quiche. Easy brunch for friends? Quiche. Reheat-able dinner for a friend with a new baby? Quiche.

This is just a jumping off point, use your favorite ingredients or whatever you have on hand. This just happens to be what I used this time, but you could throw in some diced zucchini, cooked crumbled sausage, ground beef, kale, chard, sweet potatoes, etc. the possibilities are endless.

As it turns quiche is a good way to use leftovers 🙂 I’m a bit bored with omelets lately so I am looking for small alternatives. Baked eggs on a crust and using the remains of the day before seemed like a good idea. It was delicious

I can tell you this recipe tasted even better the next day! I think the juice from the bacon and onions really gives it flavor overnight.

A Paleo version of the crust can certainly be prepared, using a nut flour base, but I like it just as much without. It’s also important for any Paleo follower to moderate the nut and nut flour consumption, so when you can do without, I highly suggest you do.

This quiche went over to rave reviews from the Paleo and non-Paleo testers. Not only did everyone equally love it but there was agreement that the crust was great, you couldn’t taste coconut and it “looked” like there was melted cheese on top.

You can add meat or extra veggies to make it more filling. Make it interesting and have fun with this “base” recipe! I suggested this recipe for my dorm room friends and my friends in the sorority house and they loved it! It’s good served cold or for lunch too.

FYI – white sweet potatoes are a less sweet variety and are awesome for savory recipes so the sweetness doesn’t overpower the rest of the flavors. I highly recommend using white ones for this quiche if you can get them!

Of course, I love a quiche Lorraine, but it doesn’t quite stack up to a grain-free quiche filled with roasted pumpkin, caramelized onions, and local grass-fed blue cheese.
