Bacon Lovers Quiche (Keto)
Ok this one is a LITTLE more labor intensive than my usual recipes but OMG is it worth it. The almond flour crust is nutty, crispy and packed with flavor and the inside is decadent and creamy (WHILE BEING DAIRY FREE!!-Totally #win)
I love quiches because they can be a great breakfast OR dinner, you can make them ahead of time and they are full of good protein, good fats and veggies. Kinda the perfect "all in one" meal!
Enjoy!
(The Ketogenic diet is one that focuses on eating a hight amount of good quality fats with little to no carbs--You know me, I don't stay a slave to any one particular diet but this quiche satifies even the carb lover in me!! )
