heavy cream

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast adds flavor without dairy.

pie crust

🥗Healthier: whole wheat crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought crust

Whole wheat crust adds fiber and nutrients.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat than traditional bacon.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on low heat.

Add 1 small onion (or half of a large onion) to the pan and cook until soft and golden, adding a pinch of salt.

In a measuring cup, mix the filling for the quiche.

Add 3/4 cup half and half to the measuring cup.

Crack 1 egg and add 1 egg yolk to the mixture for richness.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a little Cayenne pepper, then whisk it up.

Add 2 tablespoons of chopped chives to the mixture for freshness.

Cut thick cut deli ham into small pieces.

Prepare the crust using refrigerated pie crust and a cookie cutter to cut out rounds.

Spray a quiche pan with canola oil to prevent sticking.

Place a spoonful of the cooked onions in the bottom of each quiche cup.

Add a small amount of ham on top of the onions in each cup.

Pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.

Place the quiche pan in the oven preheated to 375°F.

Bake for about 20 minutes.
