Low Carb Spinach Mushroom and Ham Quiche
Quiche is such a tasty, simple but hearty breakfast!! This Low Carb Spinach, Mushroom, and Ham Quiche is sure to be a family favorite. This recipe gives you the yummy taste of a quiche, but leaves out the crust if you are counting carbs!
Preparing Low Carb Spinach, Mushroom, and Ham Quiche
Melt butter in your large skillet. While the butter melts, spritz a 9 inch baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Throw mushrooms and onions into the skillet and cook until tender about 3 to 5 minutes. Add in ham and spinach to cook through. Transfer mixture to baking dish.
In your large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and cheese together. You can add the salt and pepper here or wait until before it goes into the oven. Pour the egg mixture over the mixture in the baking dish. Gently move the vegetables and ham to make the egg mixture even. You aren’t mixing it together. Rather moving it here and there to get the mixture even. If you mix it, you end up with scrambled eggs not quiche. We don’t want that so be careful.
Place in oven for 45 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. If you wiggle the pan and any part moves then it’s not set yet. Keep cooking or risk salmonella. I know we’re trying to lose weight but let’s not risk it. Trust me, salmonella is no bueno.
What is the difference between quiche and frittata?
Quiche is like an egg custard cooked completely in the oven. Frittata is more like a thick omelet that is cooked mainly on the stove then placed under the broiler briefly to brown the top. This recipe qualifies as a quiche with the lack of a crust making it low carb.
