I halved the flour and replaced the milk with whipping cream for my low carb diet. I froze leftovers and use them for an easy and quick low carb breakfast. Wonderful!

You've got yourself a winner with this recipe! I don't care for mushrooms so I left them out and added extra sausage (16 oz instead of 8). I had 4 cups of mozzarella and 2 of cheddar so that's what I used for cheese. I love the red peppers, they give the perfect flavor without overwhelming everything. Thanks for posting, I'll be using this a lot!

This recipe is AWESOME! I've made it several times now and each time I change it up a bit. I get rave reviews each time I make it. One thing I always do is also sauteed white or yellow onion with the mushrooms and peppers. (I also only use fresh mushrooms) I buy the pre-cooked Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles and it tastes GREAT! I made this for the teachers at my daughters school and I've had to make copies of the recipe for ALL of them. Super yummy!

This easy and versatile crustless quiche is a welcome addition to my repertoire. I substituted yellow onion for green and omitted the mushrooms for DH. I added some smoked paprika, black pepper and salt. I also halved the recipe. It took 35 minutes in a 9" square dish. I thought it was a bit oily, so next time I will omit the melted butter and just spray the top with cooking spray to get that beautifully browned look. I will also jazz it up with some fresh herbs in addition to the parsley. Great recipe, as the opportunities for variation are endless.

Are you eating LCHF? This recipe is NOT low-carb. There is half a cup white flour in it! BIG NO-NO!!!
