SCD Single-Serve Fig & Goat Cheese Quiche

A healthy, single-serve quiche recipe

Alas, a one-stop-shop recipe for a cozy weekend breakfast, made just for you! This healthy single-serve quiche is full of warm, seasonal flavors wrapped in a buttery almond flour crust. It doesn’t get much better in my opinion…

A Healthy, Grain-Free Quiche Recipe!

This healthy quiche recipe always hits the spot when I’m craving something sweet, salty, and filling in the morning! The combination of sweet figs, spicy nutmeg, and salty goat cheese is MAGICAL. It might sound crazy, but trust me on this one.

Not only is it delicious, but this mini quiche is packed with healthy fats and has 14 grams of high-quality protein from Greek yogurt and eggs! Because of this, I feel like it keeps me full for hours.

A Single-Serve, Fun Weekend Breakfast

Because I’m still a college student (and looking forward to yet another 2 more years of grad school), single-serve recipes have been my jam. I often only cook for myself, and I’m simply just not a leftover food fan… trust me, I’ve tried to be. But some things quite simply just aren’t that good on Day 2, 3, 4, etc.

To save time and money, I often find myself creating single-serve versions of some of my favorite foods. You could even go so far to say creating single-serve/small-batch recipes is a frequent hobby of mine! LOL. Says no 21-year-old college student ever.

This fig & goat cheese quiche is one of those recipes. And I pinky promise you won’t regret making it.

Especially on a slow Sunday morning, when I have 30 minutes to drink coffee and jam out to my favorite acoustic playlist in the kitchen while I wait for this single-serve quiche in the oven… this recipe is a game-changer.

What is “SCD” Though?!

“SCD” is an acronym for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. This diet is one that focuses on removing specific, inflammatory carbohydrates from the diet to help people with IBD, celiac disease, and even Autism!

Similarly to the Paleo diet, the specific carbohydrate diet focuses a lot on minimally processed foods with no added sugars or modern chemical additives.

I first started following the SCD last year, when my severe ulcerative colitis diagnosis landed me in the hospital. Since this flare, I’ve been able to reverse my IBD symptoms into remission with a combination of my diet/lifestyle change and Humira!

How to Make Single-Serve Quiche:

Step 1: Lightly spray a small, 3.5″ oven-safe ramekin with cooking spray and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the crust ingredients together.

Step 2: Transfer the almond flour crust mixture into the ramekin, using your hands to lightly press the dough to cover the surface of the ramekin. Bake at 400F for 12 minutes.
