Keto Spring Veggie Quiche
Celebrate spring with this veggie packed quiche, made with fresh produce that's in season right now. Filled with nutrient-rich veggies like zucchini, spinach, and asparagus, this quiche is not only delicious but is also keto friendly and gluten free. This recipe is easily customizable and the veggies that are used can be adjusted based on what's in season throughout the year!
While this recipe is vegetarian, feel free to add some ground sausage or chopped bacon for extra protein. If you prefer to make 6 mini quiches, you can use a pack of Sandwich Rounds instead of a Pizza Crust and just reduce the baking time to about 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
