Breakfast Quiche

I’m almost done with my 30 days of eating clean. I can’t believe it… time has flown by! Surprisingly, I’m not tired of my typical “fried egg and half avocado” breakfast until this week. I was ready to switch it up, and who knew that make a quiche would be so simple?! This recipe allows for flexibility in terms of vegetable choices. I decided to use broccoli, mushrooms, and asparagus because, well, that is what I had that in my fridge! Feel free to use whatever you want, but be careful- don’t use TOO many veggies, as this dish could turn out a “veggie dish” with a side of egg. The veggie to egg ratio is key!

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (any milk product will work)
• 1/4 cup brown rice flour (whole wheat flour will work as well)
• 2-3 cups broccoli
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 6-10 spears asparagus
• 1 small yellow onion
• Spices to taste: oregano, salt, pepper

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• On the stove, sauté onion in coconut oil until onion is soft. Add chopped veggies and stir occasionally.

• While veggies are cooking, in a separate bowl, mix together eggs, milk, and brown rice flour. Try to stay away from bleached flour if possible!

• Add spices to egg mixture.
• Grease baking dish. I suggest a square or circle pan, approx. 8″.
• Dump veggies into the dish first, followed by the egg mixture.

• Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the stop layer is slightly brown. Make sure the eggs are cooked before pulling it out of the oven.
• Let quiche cool for 5 minutes, then serve away!
