We have a very low carb lifestyle in our home and only have a small amount of challah on Shabbat and festivals.
Recently a friend was up here visiting in Yavne’el and she brought a grain-free quiche.
It’s a treat if you are lactose intolerant because this is a quiche recipe that’s dairy free too. And since it’s grain free, you can make this for Passover.
This quiche is super easy, super delicious.
