Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This Pepperoni Pizza Quiche is a good breakfast recipe for low-carb or Keto diets. This would be too high in fat for the original South Beach Diet, but if you used low-fat milk, turkey pepperoni, and low-fat cheese you could make a South Beach Diet friendly version that would still be really good.

Made this easy dish tonight; I do not care for olives or mushrooms, so I just made it with the cheese, cream mixture and pepperoni. Baked as indicated, watch it the last 5 minutes to avoid burning edges. I really enjoyed it! I plan to add spinach to mine, next time i make it. Nice addition to my keto meal rotation! ย Thanks for a tasty recipe!
This is a wonderful recipe! ย I made a loaded pizza quiche for my hubby, and a more traditional version for myself, both were very good and what we call a โrepeaterโ, which is how we judge new recipes I try. ย Thank you Kaylyn,
So glad you enjoyed it, and glad to know it’s a repeater for you!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Kalyn this was outstanding! Even my picky eater was impressed . Iโve made a few of your recipes and they certainty do not disappoint. My tummy is quite happy after having this for dinner . Iโll without doubt be making this again and I bet it will be soon . Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us.ย
So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Sorry for the slow response, I am on vacation and not keeping up like I usually do.
Hi! Kalyn, I am interested in your pepperoni quiche. May I ask if heavy cream and whipping cream the same? What other alternatives could we use besides heavy cream?
Thanks, Evonne.
Heavy cream is very similar to whipping cream, but heavy cream has slightly more fat. They can be used interchangeably in recipes. You can also use half and half or milk in this recipe if you prefer.
I made this for dinner last night and it was truly OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!! My husband and I both just loved it! Thank you!!!
How fun! Happy to hear you enjoyed it so much!
This sounds delicious and so many great reviews I canโt wait to try it! ย Could I put this all together this the night before and bake the next morning? Thank you.
Yes, but I think you would need to let it come to room temperature before you bake it or I worry the top will get too browned before the center is cooked. Hope you enjoy!
Made this, at last. Added sauteed onions, green peppers and some jalapenos. Delicious
So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Just made this for the second time in a week! ย Soooo good! ย Can see this will be made time & again at our house!!!
So glad to hear you guys enjoyed it, thanks!
I made this dish for first time today and it was fantastic! Do you think adding spicy sausage would change the deliciousness? (You may have already addressed. If so, my apologies in advance)
If you like sausage I think it would be delicious in this. So glad you liked it.
Where does the garlic powder go?
Oh how I hate it when I make mistakes like that. It goes in with the eggs. (I had it in the instructions above but not in the actual recipe.) I will fix right now; thanks for catching that!
That is what I figured. Only logical place. We made this tonight and it is delicious.
So glad you enjoyed! And thanks again for catching that.
Thanks Tanya!
I made this last night for dinner, it was fabulous! I overcooked it a little, but will definitely make it again. Thank you!
So glad to hear you enjoyed it!
We are new to low carb cooking. ย In the past week I have tried three of your keto recipes and they are amazing! ย The pepperoni pizza crustless quiche was perfect for a snowy night supper.ย ย
