Chile Verde Cream Quiches are crust-free, grain-free, primal, low carb, and have a paleo, dairy-free option. These are almost carb-free (0.5 net carbs per mini quiche).
PinI made these for brunch with pretty much leftovers I had in the fridge and was so happy with the outcome, especially the Verde cream topping.
I have made these with an organic Salsa Verde from a jar, which saves time, but also included a link to a homemade recipe if you feel up to it.
I used real, full fat, organic, gum-free sour cream, but also have a link to a recipe for dairy-free sour cream for the paleo version.
My family gobbled these guys up like a swarm of locusts. I know they would hate that comparison, but they are some serious eaters, except my little picky guy. He eats slowly, painfully, and the food gets cold.
I have a pet peeve about the food having to be hot, not warm. This is why I continually burn the roof of my mouth or my tongue.
My husband, on the other hand, can eat food cold and will eat leftovers without reheating them. Does it bother when your food is cold or a little warm?

When you say sausages...are those breakfast link sausages, or something like smoked sausage or bratwurst, or something else? Thank you!!
Stacey says
Jill, yes the small breakfast sausage links.
Roxana Lopez says
These look so good! I'm wondering about baking it all in one casserole dish, then cutting into servings. I'm having trouble visualizing the volume. Can you tell me whether an 8x8 pan would work for this recipe, or will it need something larger? Any time estimate for baking it that way?
Thanks so much. Your recipes are always so appealing, and they make me want to run to the grocery store for ingredients right now!! Can't wait to try this one.
Stacey says
Roxana, I think an 8x8 pan or a 9 inch pie pan would work as well. Baking times will vary but I would test it at 25 mins and then go longer if needed. It could take up to 30 minutes or more.
