I ran across this recipe in a local group's cookbook--and it was already low-carb! No adjustments were necessary.


4 eggs, well beaten
4 cups sharp cheddar, grated
4 canned jalapeno peppers-chopped (remove seeds to reduce heat)
1 to 2 tsps. chopped onion

Mix all ingredients together and pour into ungreased 8" x 8" pan (I used a good non-stick pan, so I don't know if this has a tendency to stick in an uncoated pan).. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until nice and firm. Cut into 16 squares.

This has been a nice treat for me, as a snack (alone or with veggie sticks) or even a side dish with meals. A small can of chopped chili peppers could be substituted for the jalapenos to reduce "heat", if desired.
