This is not complete yet. I will continue to add as I experiment with most recipes. I wanted to at least post what I have so far. There are dairy free recipes included and I will add vegan recipes, or egg free for those sensative later as I try them out.
All these have been baked. Not all have been taste tested as I can't manage that much food people! Quiches freeze well so I have cut single serving portions of all and froze. I'll add information on if a recipe doesn't freeze well if I discover it.

Many of these just started with Rosebud's basic quiche muffin recipe found at
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...t=quiche+muffin
I used Carb Countdown whole milk in all these recipes. Heavy cream or half and half can be used instead.
For dinner we had the deep dish pizza quiche: Recipe is located at
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=44087
High cal, but extreamly filling. My version with mushrooms and turkey pepperoni came out to 257 cals a slice.
Deep Dish Pizza Quiche
4oz Neufchatel
1/3 cup milk
Italian Seasonings to taste
2 cups pizza blend cheese
1/2 cup Ragu Light
1 cup mozzarella shredded
Toppings: (included in fitday totals)
1 cup mushroom slices
2 servings turkey pepperoni
Preheat oven to 375 and grease 8 - 9 inch pan.
Beat together neufchatel and egg. Add cream and italian spices an dbeat until blended,
If you want pepperoni on the bottom, l ine the bottom of pan with slices, else reserve pepperoni for topping. Spread pizza blend cheese in bottom of greased 8 - 9 inch circle cake or deep pie pan. Poor egg mixture on top and cook for 35 mins or until middle is no longer liquidy.
Spread Ragu on top, then arange mushrooms in a single layer on top. Add grated mozzarella, then pepperoni if not used as a bottom layer.
Cook around 5-10 mins longer until cheese is melted. May brown, if not you can place under broiler for about 2-4 minutes to finish off. Let stand at least 10 mins before cutting.

Brie Breakfast Bake
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...light=brie+bake
The only change I made to this was to remove the rind before processing the Brie Cheese, and using Carb Countdown Milk in place of half & Half. It came out great.
4oz Brie Cheese
1/2 Cup Milk
2 Eggs
Preheat oven to 375. Grease a Glass Baking dish, I used one that was around 8x8. I used a 7 inch and had it spread over side very slightly as it puffed.
Remove most of rind from cheese, then puree in blender until smooth. Since rind is missing you can probably use a regular mixer with success. The mixer would probably whip eggs better we well as not have the cheese stick to sides as much. Add milk and eggs, then blend until smooth. Add basil, oregano, and parsely to taste. Poor into baking dish and bake 25-35 mins. Let sit at least 5 mins before cutting. As the quiche sits it will deflate, that isn't a worry.
The Brie taste is very mild in this. It is a very filling and great tasting dish.

BlueCheese Crab Quiche
addapted from
http://www.recipesource.com/main-di...04/rec0482.html
1 can crab meat
1/4 cup blue cheese*
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded*
4 eggs
1 cup milk
Preheat over to 350. Blend together crab meat, blue cheese and mozzarella cheese. Place in bottom of greased 8 or 9 inch circular cake pan. Beat together eggs and milk. Place on top of cheese mixture and bake for 35-45 minutes until center is set.
*If you shred and crumble your own cheese you can save on carbs. Most preshredded and crumbled cheeses use starchy anticaking agents such as potato starch.

Salmon Spinach Mini-Quiche
8 eggs
4 oz soft goat cheese
1/2 14oz package spinach thawed and water pressed out
1/2 foil package salmon
Preheat oven to 305. Line 12 (I only got 11, If you do have any empty cups, fill with water prior to baking for even baking of quiches) muffin tins with liners. (You can try greasing instead, I use liners for easy storage). I blended everything together. What would work much better though would be to combine spinach and salmon together, then press into the bottom of the muffin cups. Make sure goat cheese is softened and blend together with eggs. Poor egg mixture over spinach mix and bake for 20-30 mins. You can use cream cheese in place of some or all of goat cheese.
