I absolutely LOVE this Quiche! Not just because it is low carb- my non dieting friends also love it! I usually add both spinach and broccoli to the quiche, use swiss cheese or mozzarella, and make one and a half times the recipe...cook it in a square pan...let it cool...cut individual servings...then put them in baggies in the freezer. They last in the freezer a long time and make it so convenient to just microwave a serving or two (or more for company). It's a great, tasty way to get my little ones to eat their veggies- my 3 and 5 year olds ASK for it!
