Low Carb Gluten-Free Individual Quiches Recipe

Introduction

These low carb, gluten-free individual quiches are a nutritious and delicious meal perfect for any time of day. Made with Carbonaut Original Gluten-Free Tortillas and Just Egg, they’re easy to prepare and offer a satisfying portion with wholesome ingredients.

Six small quiches sit in a dark metal muffin tray on a wooden table, each with a golden-brown crispy tortilla shell folded unevenly around a creamy, light yellow egg filling mixed with green spinach bits and topped with a slightly browned layer of melted cheese. The shells’ edges curl upward, creating a textured border around the soft, baked filling. Nearby, there is a small wooden bowl of red chili flakes, fresh parsley leaves, and sliced mushrooms scattered on the table. A light cloth is partially visible under the tray.

How to Serve

A dark gray metal muffin tray holds six freshly baked mini quiches, each with three clear layers: a golden brown, slightly folded tortilla shell forming the base and sides; a thick, light yellow egg mixture with specks of green herbs and small pieces of spinach throughout; and a glossy, darker golden orange melted cheese topping that is slightly bubbly and uneven in shape. The tray sits on a wooden table with a white marbled texture overlay, a beige cloth napkin peeking from the left side, and garnishes like mushroom slices, parsley leaves, and a small white bowl of red pepper flakes scattered near the upper right corner.
