Gluten Free Breakfast Quiche
Quiche is a great source of protein that can be eaten for any meal. I like it, especially for breakfast. I use a gluten-free potato crust that can accommodate any gluten-free or grain-free diet.
Quiche has many health benefits. Gluten-free quiche avoids the inflammatory effects of many grain-based foods including bread and rice. If you are looking to go gluten-free or grain-free to avoid the inflammatory effects of many grains, this recipe is the perfect option. Additionally, quiche is a great supplemental source of fiber and protein.
Below is the recipe for my breakfast quiche. I hope you enjoy it!
