Spinach, Cheddar and Monterey Jack Quiche – Gluten-Free and Low Carb

The aroma filling the kitchen draws him every time, ready to eat before he even sees how good this quiche looks with its dark green spinach, golden cheeses and tomato topper.  My hubby likes this often for breakfast or lunch.  The recipe is gluten-free and low carbohydrate naturally, without using special ingredients.

It stands well, too, after coming out of the oven, making it good also for serving at a buffet or a pot luck dinner.  It can be cut in small pieces, too, for appetizers.

This is a no crust-quiche because a crust is not even necessary.  You could bake this in one, if you want the carbs and the extra work — but why bother?
