It's Diabetes Awareness Month and an opportunity to raise awareness of how important it is to eat healthy. Not many people realize that diabetes is one of the fastest spreading diseases globally and it really deserves our attention. To help people make the right choices, I teamed up with A Sweet Life Diabetes Magazine and created two holiday baking recipes. The fist one is this Keto Quiche Lorraine and the second one is this Low-Carb Holiday Berry Pavlova
Quiche Lorraine must be the most popular savory pie ever. A timeless classic perfect for any occasion! Just like traditional Quiche Lorraine recipe, this quiche is made with bacon, Swiss cheese, caramelized onion, cream and eggs. The pie crust is gluten-free and low-carb so it won’t spike your blood sugar.
Once you make the pie crust, you can add the filling and have the quiche ready in less than an hour. A tasty Holiday breakfast pie your family and friends will love!
