BRUNCH AND QUICHE go together like, well… brunch and quiche. If you’re planning an A.M. gathering for Mother’s Day weekend — and let’s be real, who isn’t? — be sure to include this cleaned-up, dairy-free crustless quiche in the spread. Get the health-ified recipe from integrative nutritionist, Jennie Miremadi, right here…
Most traditional quiche recipes have a crust that is made with all-purpose flour – an ingredient that lacks nutritional benefits, spikes your blood sugar and, along with the milk and cheese found in many quiche recipes, is likely to cause inflammation.
This quiche eliminates the crust altogether, and replaces the milk and cheese with coconut milk, all without compromising flavor! It’s just as creamy and delicious as a traditional quiche, but without all the problem ingredients, so you can show the moms in your life how much you love them!
