Low Carb Quiche
Low Carb Keto Friendly Chorizo Quiche
Once you have a repertoire of ketogenic recipes, it becomes easier to mix and match components and use parts of them for different recipes. The day I tried to make this low carb keto quiche, I had already used the pizza dough to make pizza bases and chorizo empanadas. So with 1 hour of work I had three different dishes: pizza, empanadas and quiche and lunches and dinners for at least 3 days.
This recipe is really, really simple. Make the pizza dough and bake it in a pie dish. Mix the pre-made chorizo with cheddar cheese and eggs and bake in a hot oven until set through.
Ingredients
- 4 oz chorizo
- 4 oz cheddar cheese
- Additional cheese slices to for the top layer (any cheese of your preference).
- 4 eggs
- For the quiche dough - follow the same pizza base recipe.
- Spices and herbs per your taste (My chorizo was flavorful enough, but if you use regular sausage, you could add some garlic and maybe some scallions in your egg mixture)
Instructions
- Press the dough into the bottom of a pie dish and bake it in a 350 degree oven until golden brown.
- Whip the eggs and add the spices/herbs. Pour them over the chorizo and mix it well in a bowl. Mix in the grated cheddar cheese.
- Spread the mixture over the crust.
- Bake at 350 until set.
- Top with the cheese slices and bake for another 10 mins.
- This should yield about 4-6 servings and good enough for quick weekday lunches.
