Food Friday - Mini Baked Quiches

We almost always eat “breakfast” food for lunch and I made these mini baked quiches for lunch this week and really enjoyed them! I got this recipe from the Keto for Dummies book by Rami and Vicky Abrams. It doesn’t say in the recipe how big a serving size is or how many muffins it should make but for me it made 12 muffins. I ate two but I felt like I needed a snack just a little while later so I would either eat three next time or I would maybe add some cheese and/or avocado to the top and maybe have a piece of sausage or bacon with it. They were very tasty though and you could change these up with different veggies or do whatever you wanted to spice them up how you like. :) (And sorry for the pic. I love photography but food photography is not my strength! hahaha!)

They were full on top like a muffin when I first took them out but then the middle collapsed immediately. lol! I’m not sure if that was supposed to happen but they still tasted great! :)
