Keto Bacon Zucchini Quiche

 


I never used to be a big fan of quiche but have since changed my mind. I found a keto friendly mix, Carbquik, and it makes this recipe super tasty and a breeze to whip up in just a few minutes. 
I add bacon but this would be fabulous with ham, ground beef, or sausage. I also use mozzarella but cheddar could be substituted no problem. 
This recipe makes 4 servings but can easily be doubled for a larger crowd or for meal prep. 


Keto Bacon Zucchini Quiche

Ingredients 
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup onions
1 clove garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups zucchini, shredded
1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded + 1/2 cup more for topping
Pinch dried parsley
Pinch garlic powder
Salt & pepper
4 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup Carbquik 
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup parmesan, shredded

Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9 inch pan with cooking spray, set aside.
In a bowl, stir together ingredients until well combined. 


Spread into prepared 9 inch pan.


Can also be spread into individual, smaller pans if preferred. Sprinkle with remaining shredded mozza. 


Bake at 350 for 30 - 40 minutes, until top is golden brown. Toothpick inserted near centre should come out clean.


Serve warm or let cool completely and cover. Stores well in fridge or can be frozen and reheated later. 


I love the texture of this. So light and airy.


Here is what the Carbquik looks like. Almost like Bisquick, but keto friendly! 


I enjoy the bacon and zucchini and mozza but it is *very* not-spicy. I definitely recommend adding in some jalapeño or aged cheddar or your favourite spices if you want to up the flavour profile. 


According to Myfitness pal, one serving (recipe makes 4) is: 
428 calories, 35 fat, 17.2 carbs, 11.4 fiber, 23.5 protein. That’s 5.8 net carbs
His makes a lovely, light meal with a few fresh veggies on the side. Great if you are doing keto or even if you’re not!
