In this post I am bringing you not just one, but two different Low Carb Quiche recipes and they are dynamite! I only intended on making one, but when Matthew and I had differing opinions on what the fillings should be I decided that two had to be made that Sunday morning!
Low Carb Snacks – Two Delicious Options!
Matthew is a huge fan of tomato, but he’s taken a step back from eating them by the handful since starting keto. So, any chance where he gets to use a small amount, especially when heating them in the oven or on the stove top, he takes advantage of it.
However, I myself can’t deny how well the three ingredients he chose complement one another. The tomato, mozzarella and bacon sing together perfectly! It is a pretty classic trio after all! The crunch from the bacon, fatty goodness from the cheese and the burst of the tomato in your mouth all at once is too good to be true… but it is true!
In the second quiche I wanted to speak to old vegetarian in me. I wanted to create a recipe that would be satisfying to even the meatiest of all meat lovers! And, my low carb spinach quiche takes the cake. Gorgonzola has a strong taste and smell, but when cooked into an egg it’s creamy and melts in your mouth. The spinach not only adds beautiful color to the quiche, but brings on a subtle flavor that works extremely well with the strong gorgonzola.
Low Carb Breakfast Recipes
These low carb quiches are perfect for any meal or snack of the day, but we enjoy them most to start our day off right in a low carb, high fat manner. The easy assembly of plopping on all the ingredients and just pouring the egg over the low carb crust makes it an easy meal!
If you’re not a fan of breakfast quiches or eggs, or you are just looking for something to change it up give our Macro Cakes or Cauliflower Hash Browns a try! Either way, we’ve got you covered for a low carb breakfast recipe that is guaranteed to satisfy every time!

I’m so excited to try these. I was looking for some good meal prep ideas and didn’t even realize you guys put this recipe up. Quick question: If I adjust the recipe to 1 serving on the serving count, so that I get 1 serving of each quiche, I have to double the quiche crust correct?
I’ll probably figure it out as I go, but I’m working on a shopping list and don’t want to get more than I need. Thanks so much. You guys are really helping me with my food ideas!
Bacon, mushrooms, and pepper jack cheese for my filling, please!
I have been using recipes from the internet for a long time. I have learned the hard way, through many wasted ingredients that I need to be very careful. The other day I saw one for grain-free biscuits and the pics were obviously Pillsbury type biscuits…which brings me to this recipe…I totally fail to see how the amounts called for in the quiche will fill one let alone two quiches that are 4″ in diameter unless the pans are only 1/2 inch deep. I will definitely not try this recipe. Maybe this amount of filling would be appropriate for two cupcake size quiche. This recipe and ones like it just disgust me.
Here are the quiche pans we use for the recipe(when we actually made it as evidenced by our pictures).
Michelle, I actually had too much egg to fit in pan so maybe you should try it before you knock it. I’m anxiously awaiting them to come out of oven now.
TRYING THESE TONIGHT~
TRYING THESE TONIGHT~ Perfect little things to eat on a cold night! Thank you so much for taking the time to share these!!! I really appreciate it!
Just had to say thank you for this great recipe and inspiration. I made quiche with it last month and it got me thinking about other alternatives…tonight I used the pastry recipe to make a minced beef pie (I’m English – we love pies!) – ground beef, mushrooms, onion, gravy, rosemary and bay – encased in your pastry. Worked SOO WELL. Blind baked the base and then filled and popped the top on, egg wash, scattered with herbs – into the oven. Amazing.
Thank you!

That’s a great idea Anne! Glad to see you’re experimenting with the crust recipe, sounds great!
I love quiche lorraine so I’m super pumped to try this out
Quiche 2: HWC is in the instructions, but not the ingredient list. Does it require 1/2 tbsp, same as quiche one?
Yes! I apologize – fixed 🙂
Thanks e book
Have you tried an alternative to almond flour? I haven’t tried this particular recipe yet but I haven’t had much luck with the flavor of the almonds. I have cassava and other alternatives, have you tried any? I bought the pans already I was so excited for quiche! Thank you
We have not tried an alternative, but there are a lot of other flour crusts you can use and find on pinterest or other food blogs!
Hi Megha,
I really enjoyed these but I think I didn’t spread out the pastry enough so ended up with a few bases too thick but trial and error great for a picnic lunch with fam.. keep the recipes coming.
Is the crust supposed to be very thin? I used 4 ramekins (didn’t have little quiche pans) and it seemed I may have not pressed it out enough. Could you provide depth of crust for those of us who are culinarily impaired? Thanks! I’ve just put mine in the oven I used fresh spinach (wilted), goat cheese and crumbles of bacon on top. Can’t wait to eat.
I didn’t have little pans, but still wanted to try it! I doubled the recipe for the crust and put it in a 9” pie pan. Tripled the recipe for the filling. Worked perfectly! Used blue cheese, bacon, and a little mozzarella. Thanks for the recipe! I love quiche!
Ditto on pie tin & mozzarella cheese topping!! This smells so good cooking!!! My husband was mowing the back lawn & stopped when he smelled it to see what I was cooking!!! Can’t wait to dig into this.
Hello Keto Connect!
Thanks for the recipe, I am currently on owe eating it. It is DELICIOUS! Works perfectly, I did adjust fillings and ended up running out of almond flour so I just substituted 1/4 cup coconut flour. Turned out perfect! One of the best things I’ve tried from the internet!
LOVE ALL YOUR STUFF!
Your Friend,

My husband made this for me and it came out delicious.
Made your quiche for supper; enough crust for three 4” ones. I am looking forward to making for a cousin who is celiac. I think this crust would be good for a pizza base too. We will be trying that! Thank you for all the new recipes.
