Pressure Cooker Low Carb Mini Mushroom Quiche make a perfect Keto Friendly, Gluten Free breakfast or snack. Mushrooms blanketed in Fluffy Eggs with a Swiss Cheese Crust is totally and completely delicious.

For many people, Eggs are the perfect food.

We love Eggs in this house and since we are watching our Carbohydrate intake, we have been eating more Eggs, than normal.

We keep a good supply of Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Eggs in our refrigerator, for a quick snack. It helps to have them ready to go, when the urge hits and satisfies the tummy.

My Pressure Cooker Low Carb Mini Mushroom Quiche recipe cooks up in the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker in just a few minutes.

How cute is that little dipping bowl with the Scallions? I am a sucker for cuteness. I bought a set of six, which is perfect to use for prepping ingredients and also to use for dipping, like in my Pressure Cooker Rojo Chicken Recipe.

My 2.3 ounce Silicone Egg Bites Trays helps me with portion control. I have many other recipes planned for these Silicone Molds. Another delicious recipe using these molds is my Starbucks Sous Vide Bacon and Jarlsberg Egg Bites.

  • What is the difference between a Frittata and a Quiche?
  • Pressure Cooker Low Carb Mini Mushroom Quiche

What is the difference between a Frittata and a Quiche?

  • A Quiche is similar to an Egg Custard and generally Heavy Cream is used for the Liquid portion.
  • A Frittata is thicker and more like an Omelet.
  • A Frittata is usually started on the Stove and finished in the Oven, or or visa versa.
  • When I make my Spanish Frittata, I start it on the Stove and finish in the oven. Check out this  Pressure Cooker Spanish Frittata (Cuban Style), which I converted for the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker.

My Pressure Cooker Frosted Egg Cupcakes are also more like a  Frittata than a Quiche.

 

Mash the Shredded Cheese into Bottom of Silicone Molds

Mash the Shredded Cheese into Bottom of Wells

The Swiss cheese will act as the base for the Pressure Cooker Low Carb Mini Mushroom Quiche.

You will want to lightly grease the sides of the silicone molds using a touch of oil. The cheese crust provides a natural greasing to the bottom.

Try to make the cheese as even as possible. I do push some of the cheese up the sides a bit, kind of like a pocket.

Try making my Air Fryer Latkes Bites recipe using shredded radish instead! OMG, yum.

 

Mix up the Eggs, Cream and Salt

Mix up the Eggs, Cream and Salt

We had some company drop by as I was preparing this recipe. No biggie, I just doubled the recipe and used two of the egg bite trays at once.

If you want to use a Vitamix to get a fluffier Quiche, whip the Eggs for about 30 seconds. Don’t go crazy.

It is totally fine to just crack the Eggs into a Mixing Bowl and use a whisk, but if you do, make sure to get the Eggs very frothy. That ensures a lighter texture. Of course, I always recommend this flat whisk.

 

Add the Mushrooms and Scallions

Add the Mushrooms and Scallions

You are probably wondering why I did not add the Fillings to the Egg Mixture.

Adding the Veggies and then pouring in the Whipped Eggs will allow the Veggies to rise to the top.

It looks very presentable, like a blanket around the Mushroom Filling. 🙂

If you are a Mushroom lover as I am, check out my Pressure Cooker Chicken Marsala Mushroom Soup. It is divinely decadent. [Said in my best Sally Bowles voice]

It may be easier to first add the trays into the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker and then pour in the egg mixture.

Another great Low Carb Keto Bomb are my Pressure Cooker Cherry Cordial Cheesecake Bites. Sub out the sugars for Swerve and you have a delicious dessert.
