Description
A delicious Bacon Asparagus Quiche that is keto-friendly and low-carb, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or almond flour crust for keto option)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing asparagus)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the asparagus and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped bacon, sautéed asparagus, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
- If using a pre-made pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If using an almond flour crust, press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, you can add 1/4 cup of cream cheese to the egg mixture before baking.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon with sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
