    Keto Caramelized Onion and Gruyere Quiche

    So how’s the weather been where you are? Had any crazy snowstorms or possibly a Bomb Cyclone or two? Seriously there has been such wild weather in so many places this year. Snow in Florida, snow in Georgia, rain and flooding in New England. But here in Portland, we’re feeling a little like we dodged a bullet. It’s been the typical chilly rain and as tiresome as that can be, we’re mentally prepared for it. It’s the same old same old and we’re not complaining.

     

    Best Low Carb Quiche Recipes

    Because last year was our crazy weather year. Huge snow storms from December onward, a foot of snow in the streets and no snowplows to clear it. Our kids were out of school for 8 full days, if I remember correctly. It was both a blessing and a curse. Everyone was a little stir-crazy at times and parents with work to do were at their wits end. But we also found ways to make it feel like a holiday. Hitting the park for some sledding, having friends over for hot chocolate, heading to a friend’s house for an impromptu potluck. It wasn’t safe to drive so we would pull on our boots and snow pants and trudge our way up the street to each other’s houses.

    Delicious grain-free and low carb quiche recipe

    When you’re a busy parent with kids, a snow day can feel like something you just don’t need. Because now your kids will be home and chances are good you will fall behind at work. But on the other hand, it’s a good excuse to put aside the work and connect with your family. I sometimes need those reminders to take a step back and breathe.

    So how about making a snow day extra special with a delicious brunch? You don’t have anything better to do, right? This quiche really makes a wonderful low carb brunch. It may easily be one of the best keto quiches I have ever made. The caramelized onions and gruyere give it fantastic flavor.

    Pete and Gerry's Organic Eggs

    And of course I wouldn’t make it without Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs. A beautiful quiche like this deserves high quality eggs, ones you can feel good about serving your family. Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs come from small organic farms where hens have real access to the outdoors. Healthy, humane, and delicious.

      Hi,
      Which nutrition information is the correct one? The information here is different than the information by the recipe. I use an insulin pump so I’m concerned about the net carbs.
      Thanks.

      Hi Carolyn,
      I know this recipe has been up for quite a while. I have made it countless times, my husband and I LOVE it. I’m going to be attending a ladies breakfast and would like to bring this. I’m wondering if there is some way to adapt it to make smaller bite sized quiches, like mini quiches. I have a mini muffin pan that makes 24 mini muffins. Do you think it would work to use the recipe and just divide it up into the pan I have, without modifications? I really love to share this recipe!

        Hi Barb… I am actually working on a mini quiche recipe, that I hope to have up before NYE. I am not sure this crust is the right one. It works, but it doesn’t look as pretty as I like in the muffin pan.

      Carolyn – I’d like to request that you stop endorsing Pete and Gerry’s eggs until the stop encasing them in 3 layers of plastic.

        I respectfully decline. You need to read this: https://www.peteandgerrys.com/blog/paper-or-plastic

        Read the comments as well. You will see that for areas that don’t take their cartons for recycling, like Portland, Pete and Gerry’s actually have their OWN program to take back your cartons.

        Portland, for such a progressive city, is truly awful when it comes to recycling. I do my utmost to limit materials that cannot be recycled.

      Carolyn, I made this last night….super easy to make!! The filling was delicious but the crust was soggy and not crisp at all and I didn’t have enough to fill the sides even though I used a 9×9 pan and followed the pie crust to the T. I baked the crust for approx 10-12 mins before filling. What do you think I did wrong? Thank you 🙂

      Would this be good with gouda cheese? I picked up the wrong cheese.

        I can’t see why not. It’s more mild than gruyere but will still be delicious.

      Made this quiche for a family get together. It was delicious. The crust was so easy and you could use almost anything, I added broccoli.

      Can you substitute coconut flour for almond flour?

        In the crust? No, not directly but there are coconut flour crusts out there if you want to do a Google search and replace my crust.

      Hi Carolyn, I have used this crust recipe several times as this quiche and other…using honeyville almond flour. Love the taste but it turns to crumbs after baking….am I doing something wrong here such as scooping the flour rather than spooning etc? It is so easy to make and use, hope to get this fixed.

        Hmmm, it should work just fine with Honeyville but differences in almond flour can be tricky. Try adding a bit more butter.

      Tried your quiche recipe today…so good (as usual)!

      Here’s a recipe I’m sharing with you. I like creamy dressings, but not something greasy- or chemically- tasting. Fresh, fresh, fresh. Good over everything: fresh tomato, avocado, onion, seafood. Haven’t tried it over ice cream yet, but (just kidding)…

      Lemon-Dill Ranch Dressing
      1-1/2 c. plain yogurt
      1/2 c. mayo
      1/2 t. garlic
      1 t. onion powder
      black pepper to taste
      1 or 2 t. fresh, chopped dill
      zest of 1/2 fresh lemon

      Had to return the favor. Thanks for all your great creations.?

      Carolyn, this hits my sweet spot and I can’t wait to try it. I am planning a trip to Trader Joe’s to pick up some Gruyere Cheese. Question for you, I have noticed that as much as I love sweet onions (Vidalia and Maui types) they don’t seem as flavorful when sautéed as a plain old brown onion. Am I imagining that? What type of onions did you use?

        I just used a regular white onion. I find that they are magic when caramelized.
