Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Keto Slow Cooker Quiche that’s perfect for a low-carb breakfast, brunch, or even a quick dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon or sausage (crumbled)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or any leafy green (optional)
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers or other veggies (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (e.g., thyme, oregano, or basil)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with some cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined and frothy.
  3. Add the Filling: Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon or sausage, diced onion, spinach, bell peppers, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together.
  4. Pour Into Slow Cooker: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared slow cooker. Spread the ingredients evenly.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for about 2 to 3 hours. The quiche is done when the eggs are set, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on the quiche after about 2 hours to make sure it doesn’t overcook. Slow cookers vary in cooking times, so you may need to adjust accordingly.
  7. Serve: Once cooked, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

Tips:

  • Add-ins: You can easily customize the quiche by adding your favorite keto-friendly vegetables (like mushrooms, zucchini, or asparagus) or meats (like ham, turkey, or chicken).
  • Texture: If you prefer a firmer quiche, try using less cream or adding some almond flour for structure.
  • Make it ahead: This quiche works great as a make-ahead meal. You can prepare it the night before and reheat it in the microwave or oven.

This Keto Slow Cooker Quiche is super versatile, so feel free to experiment with different flavors and fillings based on your preferences! Enjoy!
