Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a pie pan (or another baking dish) and place it on a rimmed baking sheet. Set it to the side.
In a large bowl, combine the keto Bisquick, melted butter, salt, nutmeg, and eggs and whisk until combined. Add 1 cup of cheese and stir to combine. Set the bowl to the side.
In a large skillet sprayed with cooking oil, add the onion and mushrooms. Cook on medium-high heat until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Add in the thawed and drained seafood and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes or until the seafood starts to turn opaque. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Add the mushroom/onion/seafood mixture to the Bisquick/egg bowl and stir to incorporate. Add 3/4 cup of cheese to the mixture.
Carefully pour the mixture into the pie pan and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Bake on the middle rack for about 30-40 minutes or until the top begins to brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

*I do not like to add too much salt to my recipes as you can always add more after serving but you can not remove it! So, if you use a saltier cheese, only use 1/4 teaspoon but if you use a cheese like mozzarella which is not as salty, feel free to use 1/2 teaspoon.
Baking time varies due to the type of pan you use
