This is a meal my partner loves to have on a weeknight!

Mini quiches are a delightful way to enjoy a classic French dish in a convenient, individual-sized portion. These low-carb mini spinach and mushroom quiches are perfect for those looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake while still indulging in a rich and savory meal. The combination of earthy mushrooms and vibrant spinach creates a harmonious balance of flavors, complemented by a creamy egg custard. This dish is not only versatile but also an excellent choice for brunch gatherings, potlucks, or a simple weeknight dinner. By opting for a crustless version, we maintain the essence of a traditional quiche while making it accessible to those following a low-carb lifestyle.

These mini quiches pair wonderfully with a fresh, crisp salad, such as a simple arugula or mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette. For a heartier meal, consider serving them alongside roasted vegetables or a warm bowl of soup, like a classic tomato bisque. A side of fresh fruit can also add a refreshing contrast to the savory richness of the quiches.
