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!

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.

Where is the recipe?

Hi Lil, you need to click on the link in the post - it's my guest post for A Sweet Life Diabetes Magazine.

Can I make just the egg part in a coconut oiled tin pan without the pie crust part?

I don't think that would work as it is (too crumbly and wouldn't hold well) but what if you add 2-3 more eggs and make a frittata? 😊

Dian,
I made the recipe for the filling without the crust in a small casserole dish and it worked out great! I think it was enough to make 6 slices in a 6x9-ish pan.

Ive just posted something similar on my blog! Love low carb quiches and tarts

That quiche looks delicious too! 😊
