Spinach & Swiss Quiche Made with Outer Aisle Pizza Crusts

One of the hardest parts of managing a ketogenic, low-glycemic, or low-carb diet is preparing meals that are both satisfying and diet appropriate.

While obvious foods like pizza or sandwiches stand out from the crowd, something as simple and delicious as a quiche can also be off-limits. It would be a shame to have to miss out on such an easy-to-make breakfast because it requires a crust.

Fortunately, Outer Aisle Cauliflower Pizza Crusts are good for more than just pizza, providing the perfect base for a spinach and swiss quiche. Let’s get started with the ingredients you’ll need.

 

Ingredients:

• 2 Outer Aisle Cauliflower Pizza Crusts (Jalapeño or Italian)
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup half and half
• 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• ½ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. Cayenne

 

Instructions: 

Step 1:

-Preheat the oven to 350º

-Take one Cauliflower Pizza Crust and lay it flat on a quiche baking pan

-Cut the other Cauliflower Pizza Crust into four-inch strips, lining the edges of the pan

-Place in oven for 2-3 minutes

Step 2:

-Combine the eggs, half and half, Cayenne, and salt into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until the mixture has the same color throughout

-Grate the cheese

-Take the crust out of the oven (adjust the edge pieces as necessary to create an even border – careful, they will be hot)

 

Step 3:

-Spread the cheese evenly across the crust at the bottom of the pan

-Place the spinach on top of the cheese, layering evenly

-Pour the egg mix slowly into the pan (it should fill up most of the pan)

 

Step 4:

Place in oven at 350º for 50 minutes. Remove from oven once a knife can be inserted into the center and come out clean. Allow to cool, then cut and serve.
