Court's Easy Quiche Lorraine

My favorite pre-prep breakfast or brunch meal- lightened up a bit and made (keto) AND weight loss friendly!

This #freerecipefriday share is late yet again (but only 2 days, this time! 🙈🙈😂)- but again, this one is soooooo worth the wait!

Quiche Lorraine is one of those foods I used to indulge in several times per week at a cafe back

home in Alaska. Their Quiche remains, to this day, as one of my all time favorite foods.

Traditional Quiche Lorraine is relatively easily made keto- by a simple crust swap. But, I wanted to make this as weight loss friendly as possible by pulling back the calories some, too. What results knocked my socks off, and my husband said he'd be happy to eat this for breakfast daily for the rest of his life. 😉

I'd call that a win.

Enjoy!
