Keto Everything Bagel Spice Lox Quiche
A savory quiche that captures all the flavors of an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese. The premade crust holds tender red onions, smoky lox, tangy capers, and creamy mozzarella and cream cheese, all seasoned with everything bagel spice. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner when you want something sophisticated yet comforting. The quick onion blanching removes their bite while keeping texture, and the everything spice on top creates a deliciously seasoned crust as it bakes.
