How to make Low Carb Chile Verde Cream Quiches

OK this is one of those cases where I can’t find all of the specified ingredients where I live, so rather than Salsa Verde, I’ve had to use a tomato salsa. Rather than canned green chilies, I’ve had to use roasted red peppers (capsicum). But these Chile Verde Cream Quiches quiches from beautyandthefoodie.com are crust free, grain free, low carb, and with a few tweaks can be primal or paleo. These are almost carb free (0.5 net carbs per mini quiche). They’re easy to make and delicious, even with my substitutions. The sour cream I had was really thick, so i wasn’t able to spoon it over the top of the quiches evenly, it was more of a blob in the middle - but that was such a delicious blob to bite into, so it didn’t matter. Hubby asked me to put these on the favourites list, so they’re popular with the non-low careers as well. :)
