This is what happens when you crave quiche Lorraine but are doing the keto diet and don’t have any patience. That’s right, you use your 10 minutes before the kids wake up and turn that quiche into an easy keto breakfast recipe that is scrambled.
I realize I’m a very bold person to actually call this recipe a quiche.
Where’s the crust? And more importantly: Where’s the shape?
Well, all I have to ask is: Who has the time? And where’s the taste?
To answer the second one, the taste is here. This was so freaking good.
It’s not your average sad scrambled eggs with bacon. It’s something different and I kinda feel like it’s healthy,
Also, I used ham and not bacon or lardon (which I just read about in Wikipedia reading about quiche lorraine). Also, I used cream cheese. Sue me, that’s what I had at home and didn’t want to go grocery shopping in the morning.
If you decide, you can definitely make this into mini quiches (maybe you’ll need to double the eggs and cheese), the recipe’s the same, but you need to bake this in small muffin cups at 350F/180C degrees.
