Ham and mushroom quiche

No crust and keto friendly Ham and mushroom quiche

I’ve been craving having a quiche recently and wanted to try something without a crust and very keto friendly. This ham and mushroom quiche is time consuming but definitely worth it and you can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you want.

This Ham and mushroom quiche uses spinach and cheddar cheese, but you can use any other ingredients for a substitution to the main ingredient. I typically do a quick stir fry with the ham, mushroom and spinach ahead of time and then add it to the wet ingredients to bake in the next stage.

Are mushrooms good for diabetics?

Yes, mushrooms can be a good addition to the diet of individuals with diabetes. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Low in Carbohydrates: Mushrooms are low in carbohydrates, which means they have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. This makes them a great food choice for people managing diabetes.
2. Rich in Nutrients: Mushrooms are packed with essential nutrients, including vitamins B and D, minerals like selenium and potassium, and antioxidants. These nutrients support overall health and can help in managing diabetes.
3. Low in Calories: They are low in calories, making them a good option for those looking to maintain or lose weight, which is often recommended for managing diabetes.
4. High in Fiber: The fiber content in mushrooms aids in digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Fiber slows the absorption of sugar, preventing spikes in blood glucose levels.
5. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Mushrooms have anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial for people with diabetes, as chronic inflammation is linked to insulin resistance.
