Sauteed Cauliflower Mushroom Leek Crustless Quiche is simple to make, yet hearty, satisfying, and full of healthy vegetables. A simple recipe that can be enjoyed at any time of the day!
Here I am again doing another Chopped at Home Challenge with Sargento®. Last year I made Bacon Kale Mac and Cheese as well as Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Chicken Pasta for the Sargento Chopped at Home Challenge. Both of these recipes have become family favorites and staples in my dinner menu repertoire.
Sauteed Cauliflower Mushroom Leek Crustless Quiche
For this challenge, the theme is comfort food and the secret basket ingredients are: cauliflower, cremini mushrooms, leeks, and cheddar cheese
I choose to make this quiche recipe contains all the necessary ingredients. This quiche is easy to make and full of flavor.
Are eggs healthy?
At just 78 calories each, eggs are an efficient, rich source of protein and vitamins. A large egg contains about 6 grams of protein. Eggs also are a good source of other nutrients, including vitamin D (which aids bone health and the immune system) and choline (which helps metabolism and liver function, as well as fetal brain development).
Egg yolks also can be good for the eyes. As well, they are significant sources of lutein and zeaxanthin, which have been found to reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. (source)

This recipe looks delicious, can you recommend an alternative cheese?
Paula says
Any cheese will work so whatever you have on hand. Gouda and Havarti would be good mild cheeses. If you’re looking for a low-carb cheese check this post out https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/kind-cheese-good-high-protein-low-carb-diet-1913.html
