CRUSTLESS QUICHE LORRAINE
By Dr. Cindy Tanzar
This is such a satisfying dish that is also ketogenic. It is one of my most requested recipes and is so silky smooth and creamy. Try mixing it up a bit by substituting broccoli or asparagus for the bacon and using a raw cheddar. Don’t be afraid of the fat content, especially when using organic ingredients. A ketogenic diet is very low-carb, high fat, and moderate protein. When used correctly, it is healthy, safe and a highly-beneficial way to reduce inflammation and lose weight. It turns your body into a fat-burning machine!
