One of my favorite recipes is a spinach bacon quiche from Low Carb Maven that is made without a crust.\u00a0 It also makes an ideal bariatric meal when you substitute unsweetened almond milk or 1% milk for the heavy cream. It\u2019s so full of flavor you won\u2019t miss the crust or cream one bit! You can also change up the vegetable and protein ingredients for whatever you have on hand. My kids like it made with ham and broccoli and will eat it any time of the day. Packed with protein and fiber, it\u2019s the perfect brunch dish. I hope you and your family love it as much as we do!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Crustless Bacon Spinach Quiche<\/h3>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<p>1\/3 pound bacon, cooked and chopped<br \/>\n16 ounce bag frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry<br \/>\n6 large eggs<br \/>\n2 ounces onion, thinly sliced or minced, (about 1\/4 of a medium onion)<br \/>\n3\/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or 1% milk<br \/>\n8 ounces Swiss or cheddar cheese, grated<br \/>\n3\/4 teaspoon salt<br \/>\n1\/4 teaspoon pepper<br \/>\n1 pinch nutmeg<\/p>\n<h4>Instructions<\/h4>\n<p>1.
