Receta Spinach and Egg quiche- when you are downsizing with the ‘keto’ way!
Spinach and egg quiche topped with nuts - always yummy!
I was following an article on weight loss when I was introduced with the term ‘keto diet’. The concept follows that when the body doesn’t have any carbohydrate to burn, it burns down fats for energy. The result is that excess keto body is produced and the break-down of food begins. Now, the most important part of the diet being the energy from each meal should be on the basis of 80% fats, 15% protein, and 5% carbohydrate. Well, as I was flipping the pages of a keto website, an idea clicked my mind and I thought, let’s give it a chance. With all available things in my house, I could prepare a very easy and palatable dish, a quiche made from spinach, egg and other veggies.
Preparation: For 2 people
Ingredients:
1. 4 eggs, battered
2. 1 bunch of spinach blanched,
3. 1 medium sized onion chopped,
4. ½ tomato medium sized chopped,
5. ½ teaspoon of salt,
6. ½ cup of cheddar cheese shredded,
7. 1 green chili chopped,
8. Sliced 2 garlic cloves chopped,
9. 2 and pecans sliced,
10. 1 teaspoon of butter.
Equipment used: Microwave
Preparation: 1. Melt butter in a skillet and then add the chopped onion and tomatoes to it. Toss gently until they get softened. Add the chopped garlic and cook again.
2. Add the blanched spinach and then cook the veggies with the cover on. The veggies will release water and get softened. Remove and allow to cool down.
3. Now add the eggs to it and fold the mixture till they get evenly mixed.
4. Now place the mixture in a microwave safe container and then cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Top the shredded cheese over the egg content and again microwave for 2 minutes, till you see the cheese melt completely.
6. Remove and then garnish with sliced nuts.
The idea of the quiche topped with nuts is not a general one; but trust me, my friends, the taste was just out of the world. You may give this awesome ‘keto’ breakfast after you come from a walk or work out. Try this recipe even if you are not planning to shed some weight. It’s a healthy and yummy breakfast.
