Bacon Broccoli Quiche

Every time I make or eat quiche I think of my father-in-law (manly-man, Mr. gruff and tough himself) saying, “real men eat quiche”.  So here’s to all you, the manly men, crossfit-crazy, healthy protein powered, or otherwise just hungry men.  This Bacon Broccoli Quiche is what “real men” eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Crust: (gluten free)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2 tbsp. ground flax seed
2 tbsp. coconut oil

Filling:
4-5 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup almond milk
1 cup fresh broccoli florets, or thawed and patted dry if frozen
6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 red onion, chopped
salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (opt.)

Preheat oven to 350.  Cook bacon, pat off excess grease with a paper towel and crumble.  In left over bacon grease cook onions until translucent, salt and pepper as they cook.  Combine all ingredients for the crust, mixing with a fork.  Press into the bottom and sides of a pie pan. Now in a separate bowl, beat eggs and almond milk together.  Add cooked bacon and onions, broccoli, salt and pepper.  If you opt to have cheese then mix that in too.
Pour egg filling into the crust. Bake for about 20-30 minutes until the egg is solid, the edges are a light brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cut up like a pie!
