Protein Rich Crustless Quiche

January 26, 2023 by predominantlypaleo 2 Comments

 

When I tell you that this Protein Rich Crustless Quiche might be one of my new favorite meals for any time of day, I mean it! Savory and filling plus 16 grams of protein in one slice!


Protein Rich Crustless Quiche

I know I know, everything’s about protein right now with my recipes. But y’all, I’m really trying not to shrivel up and I am learning so much about how vital protein is for an aging body so I’m all in! If you missed my Gluten Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bread or my Protein Packed Salad Dressing, make sure to check those out too!

This week so far I’ve made my Chicken Lettuce Wraps and my Paleo Cowboy Chili, both favorites of everyone who tries them (I mean for the most part – some people clearly have no taste). And I wanted to make a quiche tonight, or something like it. Recently Sadie, my middle, told me how much she loves sauteed zucchini so I figured that would be a great addition to this quiche. And then I started thinking – what if I loaded up the protein in this dish like I have in my other new recipes lately, and off I went. 

Protein Rich Crustless Quiche

I was curious how cottage cheese would do in quiche if I blended it until creamy and OMG, it’s fantastic. So between the 14g protein in that, the 36g in the 6 eggs, the 18g in the collagen, plus the cheeses and bacon, we’re talking about 16g of protein in 1/8 of the pan! And if you eat more like my kids and husband do, you’re upwards of 30g or more protein in your dinner. It’s so filling and delicious too – I think making this ahead for breakfast and pulling out a slice throughout the week might just be my next plan. 

So if you’re also trying to figure out ways to increase your protein consumption, give this one a go – I think you’ll be shocked just how much flavor AND protein is baked into one pan.

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
