STUFF
How was your weekend? I hope it was great! Mine was. First, it was a three day weekend for me because I had Memorial Day off. Since Ken had it off too we went to our place in Lakeland on Friday and came back on Monday. In addition to enjoying three days off from work, we enjoyed time with family during a family dinner Sunday evening. I made brownies and street corn salad for the family dinner. The street corn salad was incredibly good so I might share the recipe on my blog one day. Our guests brought over fried chicken, deviled eggs, salad and cheesecake! I don’t eat fried chicken or cheesecake often so both were definitely a delicious treat!
RECIPE INSPIRATION AND INFO
Inspiration for this low carb breakfast casserole comes from my love for quiches. Quiches are quite fantastic but lately I am shying away from flour crusts and I am limiting my carb intake. In fact, I haven’t had a “regular” quiche in quite some time!
Frittatas are a great low carb option that that are easy to make. This low carb breakfast casserole is similar to a frittata in taste and texture; however, the cooking method differs. For example, a frittata is typically cooked in a skillet on the stovetop over low heat. My low carb breakfast quiche is baked in a round baking pan at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. The baking method eliminates the need to be a frittata watchdog AKA standing over the stove watching it cook.
I used pastured bacon and veggies from the farmers market in this low carb casserole. It’s packed with zucchini, onions and green onions. In addition, cottage cheese and full fat sour cream give the casserole a fluffy texture and creamy taste.
I topped my slices of low carb breakfast casserole with roasted tomatoes and homemade ranch dressing. Yum factor increased x 1000. ♥︎
