Ingredients

  • 1 gluten free 9" pie crust
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup chopped asparagus
  • 1 cup chopped smoked salmon
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Optional Add Ins

  • 1-2 tablespoon capers

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350F and let the frozen pie crust thaw on the counter for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, salt and pepper plus the capers if you are adding them. Set the bowl aside.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. Then add the chopped green onion and fry for a couple minutes, until it's tender.
  • Add the chopped asparagus to the pan and cook for ~5 minutes, until the asparagus is the texture you prefer.
  • Add the smoked salmon to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, just to warm the salmon.
  • Transfer the cooked green onion, asparagus and smoked salmon to the pie crust and spread it out evenly. Then pour the egg mixture over top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the eggs are set. Let it cool for a few minutes, then cut it into desired sized pieces and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Store any leftover quiche in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 
  2. Keep an eye on the pie crust when it's cooking - if it starts to get too browned, cover the quiche with foil.
  3. Feel free to add 1/4 cup of dairy free or regular shredded cheese to the egg mixture if desired.
  4. Instead of smoked salmon you could use chopped ham or chopped, cooked bacon. 
  5. Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used.
