Low Carb Crustless Quiche

Submitted by qtcristyme

"This delicious quiche recipe was born out of a need for breakfast foods during my husbands latest diet plan. Though it has some carbs from the various veggie mix I added, there is far less than in a traditional breakfast that would have say potatoes as a side. This dish is a stand alone: no sides needed. A tasty blend of eggs, cheeses, veggies and meats, this is hearty meal!"
