Don’t you just love it when friends find recipes for you – convert them and then get you to test them! :) A beautiful friend whom I haven’t seen in a while sent me this recipe to give a go – verdict – a must for all families – Oh and if you are LCHF it is perfect for you.
Oh yeah a quiche is a quiche I hear you say - they are all the same - well yes and no - this one is certainly a NO - I can't pin point it but it is certainly the quickest meal to serve up and also the quickest meal to throw in a lunch box!
Oh and maybe if you have some left over Christmas Ham "laying about" throw that in instead of the bacon .... mmmmm DELICIOUS!
This was inspired by a recipe on food.com to be made in the Thermomix.

Leonie and Steve,
This was so yummy!
It was full of ingredients yet didn't leave us too full and heavy (It is just after christmas so it was a wonderful light summers meal!)
I only had 200gms spinach so topped it up with feta... I had a 200gram block so added that what can I say, I really like cheese!!). I also added about 25 grams of cheese and put it on the top!
We served it on rocket and hubby went back for 2nd's!!
Thanks for another great meal!
:)
