Sausage and Spinach Keto Quiche
This crustless version of a classic egg-based dish delivers satisfying savory flavors without the carbo-load!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
- Avocados sliced, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9-inch pie pan with a spritz of nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage while breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon until it's not quite completely browned, about 7-9 minutes. When it's almost cooked through, add the spinach. Cook and stir until the spinach wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer this mixture to the prepared pie pan and set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the eggs, half-and-half, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until all the ingredients are well blended.
- Stir the cheese into the egg mixture and pour it over the sausage mixture.
- Bake until the quiche appears firm with only a slight jiggle in the center when you gently shake the pan, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean or almost clean, about 45-50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with sliced avocados if desired and serve warm.
