You know how they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Well, if our penchant for steel cut oatmeal is any indicator, it’s fair to say that we agree!

But, do you know what the second most important meal of the day is?

If you shouted BRUNCH! – well… we think you’re right.

Start your weekend off with a delicious veggie and smoked salmon loaded asparagus quiche that you can eat on its own – or serve over rice.

It’s the perfect start to a lazy day off.

Hey – where are the mimosas!?

A LOW CARB CRUSTLESS QUICHE

We’re big fans of indulgent quiche lorraine. So, any time we hear the word healthy thrown around in relation to quiche, we get a little wary.

But, in the case of this salmon and vegetable quiche, all that worry is for nothing!

You see, it’s totally possible to make a healthy quiche recipe that is not only good for you, but is also packed with flavor.

For this asparagus quiche, we swapped the meat you’d normally find in a traditional quiche for heart-healthy smoked salmon – and made it low-carb by omitting the crust.

If you decide you want those carbs, then you’re going to love this next bit…

We’re making this yummy, eggy brunch recipe in a rice cooker – so you can cook rice at the same time as your asparagus and smoked salmon quiche!

HOW TO MAKE QUICHE IN A RICE COOKER

It’s not very often that the words brunch and rice cooker get mentioned in the same breath.

Well… we’re here to change that!

Your Tiger rice cooker comes equipped with a Tacook cooking plate that will cook your quiche mixture with the steam created from your rice as it cooks in the pot below.

Yep, science is neat (and tasty!).

This delicious quiche will be a crowd pleaser – and there’s super minimal cleanup afterwards.

So, is this rice cooker quiche going on your brunch menu?
