Who says eating Low Carb is difficult, boring, tasteless? I like to think of it as a lifestyle rather than a diet. Know which foods are good to eat in abundance and limit those which are not suitable on a low carb eating regime. After about two weeks, it will become second nature and you will start to feel wonderful without the cravings, and the highs and lows that can be caused with carbs and sugar - it's a great feeling!
One of the easiest, tastiest and versatile recipes I like to make often are Quiches - Even better Quiche with No Pastry! Below is my recipe for Egg and Bacon Quiches which can also have many variations - and at only 2g carbs each for these beauties, it's a Winner!
Ingredients: (Makes 12 mini quiches)
8 eggs
2 cups (500ml) thickened cream
12 rashers bacon (streaky)
300g crumbled Feta cheese
12-15 cherry tomatoes cut in half or thirds
1-2 teaspoons SAVEUR Seasoned Salt
2 tablespoons SAVEUR Pomodoro Basil Mix
Method:
1. Grease a 125ml 12 hole muffin pan (or 2 6 hole pans). Line with baking paper
Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees celcius
2. Arrange a bacon strip around the side of each hole, and divide crumble fetta among each
3. In a bowl with a pouring lip (or large jug) mix the eggs and cream with a whisk until combined well. Season with the SAVEUR Seasoned Salt and SAVEUR Pomodoro Basil Mix
4. Pour Mixture evenly over the Feta and top with the tomatoes dividing among the 12 quiches.
5. Bake in oven for approximately 30 minutes or until firm to touch. Leave in pan for 5-10 mins to cool after removing from oven, and then place on wire rack to cool nicely.
These were a huge hit! Great to eat on their own, serve with a salad, or use as a side dish for any cooked protein meal. You can leave them in the fridge for up to 2 days (if they last that long) and have for breakfast or lunch. You can also freeze these for up to 3 months. I will definitely be making these regularly... Let's see what variations we could come up with:
* You could substitute the Feta with basically any other cheese: Parmesan, Cheddar, Haloumi, etc.
* In the quiche you could add: onion, capsicum, olives, ham, salami, shredded cooked chicken, sliced kabana or chorizo. All of these are low carb

SAVEUR product alternatives that would also taste Fabulous:
- Himalayan Salt and pepper
- Calabrese Pesto Mix
- California Onion Mix
- Curry House Mix
- Spiced Beet Hummus Mix
- Creamy Dill Mix
Have fun making these, and don't be worried about trying different combinations - they will turn out Amazing!
