Cream Limit for one day

[Joy1]

If I ate this wouldn't that be the limit for the day on cream? I think I've got it figured correctly. From Linda's Induction Menu, sounds delish


SWISS ONION QUICHE
1 medium onion, chopped, 4 ounces
1 tablespoon butter
6 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
Pinch chives, chopped, optional

Sauté the onions in butter until tender and slightly browned. Grease a 9-10" glass pie plate. Arrange the cheese on the bottom of the plate; top with the onions and spread them evenly over the cheese. Beat the eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and chives well. Pour evenly over the cheese and onions. Bake at 350º for 35-40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes or so to set before slicing.

Yes, because you won't be eating the entire quiche, just a piece.

But you can also dilute the cream slightly with water - it doesn't diminish the richness much, and it will allow you to have more of the quiche.

Re: Cream Limit for one day

Thank you, I did realize I only eat one piece, it would be 1/8 cup of cream. That seemed more to me than the 2-3 Tablespoons we are allowed. I am going on induction and this is said to be an induction recipe, just wanted to double check with experienced in this WOE. Want to avoid any mistakes up front.

That is a good idea to cut some of the cream out and replace with water.
It should still taste yummy.
