Caramelized Onion & Pancetta Crustless Quiche

I have had the pleasure of getting to know the recipes of one special chef.  Her name is Chef Lisi Parsons and her dishes are full of flavor and ‘real’ ingredients.  She shared this Recipe with me.  I couldn’t wait to make her Caramelized Onion & Pancetta Crustless Quiche.

This dish has so much good going on.  First it is naturally low-carb and gluten-free making it very attractive to so many of our friends.  The goat cheese and sun dried tomatoes bring a wonderful flavor punch, and the fresh herbs will make you smile.  The signature ingredients of caramelized onion and pancetta make this quiche hearty and well received by all members of the family.

Thank you Chef Lisi for sharing your Caramelized Onion & Pancetta Crustless Quiche recipe with me and allowing me to share it with others.  It’s fabulous just like you.

Here’s our method for making Caramelized Onions.
