A delicious low-carb, keto-friendly take on my very favorite quiche recipe, the one that turned me into a quiche fan. Thanks, Mom!
Author: Lulu the Baker
Serves: 12
Ingredients
for the crust:
- 3 oz Philadelphia full fat cream cheese
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond flour
for the filling:
- ¼ cup finely minced onion
- 4 oz cooked, crumbled bacon
- 1 cup Tillamook shredded sharp white cheddar
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Beat cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl until combined. Add flour and almond flour, and again, beat until combined. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions; the dough will be slightly sticky. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 12-cup muffin pan.
- Divide the onions, bacon, and cheddar evenly among the cups in the muffin pan. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined, then divide the mixture evenly among the cups in the muffin pan. You may have a little egg mixture leftover.
- Bake the quiche for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. The quiche should pop pretty easily out of the pan. I usually use a paring knife to loosen the edges and pop them out.
Notes
Crunching the numbers on these recipes is always quite a task! To the best of my knowledge, here are the important numbers for a low carb, keto diet, per quiche:
Total Fat: 27.8g
Protein: 9.8g
Net Carbs: 6.2g
And yes, the carbs could be lower if I left out the crust, but that's the best part of quiche, in my opinion. Without the crust,it's not really quiche, it's a frittata!
Also, if the photos look familiar, it's because they're the same photos as my regular bacon and cheddar quiche recipe. There were so few differences that I didn't want to bother setting up a whole new photo shoot!
