Confession #94 – I have an addiction to cheese.
I’m sure this comes as no surprise…so many of my recipes include it…and I am always trying to figure out how to make that blue container last me all day.
My son is dairy free, however, so I am also always looking for ways to re-make our favorite meals without dairy.
And one of my favorite discoveries is full fat coconut milk. Yes, it’s still a blue, but a little goes a looooong way! It makes everything so creamy and delicious – like this quiche. There is no cheese or dairy at all in this recipe, but you would swear there was. It’s also crustless, so low carb and gluten free!
And it’s only 1/4 of your blue container per serving, which is amazing…because there are lots of hours after breakfast and that blue container is my lifeline.
We also use coconut milk for baking, making vegan ice cream, and whipped topping! It’s great stuff! Pick up a couple of cans on your next shopping trip and have some fun!
You can make these in 2 regular pie pans (eat one/freeze one), or one 9×13. This recipe also would make great mini quiches using a couple cupcake tin (aim for 16 minis) Figure out what works for you! And if you want to make this a full GREEN, just add 2 cups of spinach to your veggie mixture! YUM!
