Let’s talk about the ingredients in this crustless keto sausage mushroom quiche!

I used a mild pork sausage for my quiche. You can choose a hot sausage if that’s what you and your family prefer. If you don’t want to use pork, you could also use ground turkey. A few tablespoons of diced onions and diced red peppers add incredible flavor to this dish without adding many carbs. I used cremini mushrooms, but you could use white mushrooms if you’d like. I find using 6 eggs and 1 cup of cream to be the perfect ratio for quiche! A little dry mustard, salt, and pepper are all the spices needed since the sausage and vegetables add their own awesome flavor. Last, I chose to use a medium shredded cheese for my quiche. You can use any good melting cheese or combination of cheeses for your quiche. I do like to top my quiches with a yellow cheese because of how beautiful the browned cheese looks when baked.😊

What is the difference between a quiche and a frittata?

I love learning about different cooking and baking terms and techniques. So, I thought it would be fun to talk about quiches and frittatas. While both dishes have similarities, there are also differences which distinguish each dish. Both contain similar ingredients including eggs, cream, meats, vegetables, and cheeses. Many quiches have a savory crust, but they can be made crustless as well. Frittatas do not have a crust. Quiches are usually made in pie plates and are baked in the oven. Frittatas are usually cooked entirely in a skillet on the stove, or they’re started on the stove and finished in the oven. The other difference in the dishes is the egg to dairy ratio. Quiches typically contain a higher dairy to egg ratio than frittatas do. Our quiche is crustless; but the mixture sets up so beautifully that it, in essence, makes its own crust.

Is this crustless keto sausage mushroom quiche difficult to make?

This quiche is a beautiful dish! It’s also incredibly easy to make. There are a few things you can do to ensure yours comes out perfectly every time. You’ll want to drain your sausage well, so you don’t end up with too much grease in your quiche. One of the most important things when making this quiche is to make sure, after cooking your mushrooms, you remove as much liquid from them as possible. Some of the liquid will be cooked off as you saute your mushrooms with the onions and peppers. But, after cooking, I suggest you use a small colander to drain the mushrooms even more. I press on the mushrooms to remove even more liquid. You’ll know your quiche is done when a knife inserted comes out clean. You can serve your quiche as is. You can also top it with sour cream, salsa, or some chives or finely chopped green onions!
