Quiche

We love eggs at our house!  What's not to love about a food that is not only delicious but also contains all of the known nutrients except for vitamin C!  Read more about this awesome phenomenon in my educational post about eggs...Egg-stremely Deceiving.  One of our favorite things to do is have breakfast for dinner, we have cleverly named this "Brinner."  One of our favorite brinner meals is Quiche!

For the Crust

*Preheat oven to 350

• 1 1/4 cup whole grain all-purpose flour (recipe here) or regular flour, but this stuff is way better!
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil (one of the few times I use olive oil over coconut oil ... see why here)
• Enough water to make a dough (I go to my fridge spout and count to 2, you don't need much)

Mix all ingredients just until dough is formed, avoid overmixing as it will make the crust less flakey.  Place the dough on a large piece of plastic wrap (this makes it easier to transfer the dough to the pie plate) and roll it out into a circle a few inches wider than your pie plate.  Transfer the dough to the pie plate with the plastic wrap side up, once you have it evenly positioned over the plate press the dough into the plate then remove the plastic wrap .  Roll the excess dough around the edge of the pie plate to make the crust and use the end of a utensil to "flute" the edges.

For the Filling

• 5 or 6 large eggs
• 1 cup of organic milk
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 package frozen chopped spinach (I use Cascadian Farms organic)
• 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 8 ounces cheese, shredded (I use raw smoked cheddar, available at Mama Jeans)
• 1/2 package of Turkey bacon or your favorite breakfast meat (I use Applegate Farms because it my opinion it is hands down the best!)
• Salt to taste (I use about 1 tsp)

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and then pour into your crust.  Place in the oven at 350 for approximately 1 hour or until the top is golden brown.  Serve with a side of fresh fruit!
