    Cup of Yum

  4. Pour the egg white mixture into the prepared quiche dish, spreading it out evenly.

  6. Once cooked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Pie Crust – use a gluten-free pie crust to make this quiche gluten-free.
  • Egg Whites – if you prefer whole eggs, you can use 5-6 large eggs instead of liquid egg whites.
  • Turkey Bacon – replace turkey bacon with regular bacon, ham, or a plant-based bacon for a vegetarian version.
