"A hundred years ago I had this posted elsewhere as a simpler basic quiche with a crust, but I've adapted it to get rid of a bunch of the carbs. I use Olde Thompson's No-Salt Seasoning Blend (it's a grinder) as well as their Garlic-Pepper grinder, but you can use whatever your favourite is instead."
