What's for Breakfast Today?

So, one of my husband's favorite foods is chicken. His other favorite is quiche. Of course, while on a low carb diet, quiche can be hard... except when its crustless!

I LOVE quiche.

It's one food that I remember my mother making every holiday. She had the best quiche and I still request it whenever we are there for a holiday. Anyway, my love of quiche rubbed off on my husband, and now it is a breakfast staple in our home. I love trying out new recipes! This one is one of my favorites.

CRUSTLESS LEMON CHICKEN QUICHE

3.3 Net Carbs 1.6 net Carbs from Veggies

Serves 6 348 Calories per serving

-Oil for Pan

-2 Chicken Breasts, Boneless and Skinless

-1 Teaspoon Salt

-1 Small Onion, Diced (approx. 1/2 c)

-1 Roma Tomato, Diced

-4 Large Eggs

-1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

-2 Tablespoons White Pepper

-5 oz. Gruyère Cheese, shredded

-1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut up chicken breasts into small pieces, about 1 inch cubes. Dice tomato and onion and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat oil over med-hi heat. Once hot, add chicken, and sauté until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.

3. In pan drippings, add onion and tomato. Sauté for 5 minutes.

4. While onions and tomatoes are cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the four eggs, the cream, and the white pepper. Mix well.

5. Grease a 10" pie pan and add chicken. Pour tomato and onion mixture on top. Add egg/cream mixture on top of that and then top the quiche with Gruyère and Parmesan.

6. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 40 minutes. The top should get nice and golden brown. Slice into six pieces and serve hot, room temperature, or cold!

For any leftover quiche, put in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator for about two days.
