Ingredients Equipment Method Nutrition

Ingredients
  

  • 1 paleo pie crust
  • 8 oz bacon cage free, nitrate free
  • 1 cup basque or manchego cheese, grated
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk homemade or store bought

Equipment

  • 1 8-9 pie pan or tart pan

Method
 

  1. Make paleo pie crust (see link above for instructions). Rolled out crust can be placed in a regular pie pan or a tart pan, then chilled for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees, then partially bake crust for 15 minutes. Remove crust from the oven. Keep oven on at 350°F degrees.
  2. Cut raw bacon into pieces. Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the bacon pieces. Cook until browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and let cool on a paper towel.
  3. Shred the basque or manchego cheese. Place cooked bacon and shredded cheese in the partially baked crust.
  4. Whisk the eggs with the ground pepper and nutmeg. Add the unsweetened almond milk and continue to whisk until blended. Pour egg mixture into the crust over the cheese and bacon.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350°F degrees. Check after 30 minutes. When the edges are cooked but the middle still jiggles, remove the quiche from the oven. If the edges are watery or jiggle, place back in the oven for another 5 minutes.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes, then cut and serve. Alternatively, store entire quiche in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When ready to serve, cover with foil and warm in the oven for 15 minutes at 350°F degrees.
    Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
