Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup 4oz. Grass-fed cheese
  • 1 cup Coconut cream from can
  • 1 cups Dairy-free milk
  • 4 slices 4oz. Uncured bacon
  • 1 Leek white parts only, sliced lengthwise, then in 1-inch pieces
  • 4-5 cups broccoli
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Cook bacon in large frying pan.
  • While bacon is cooking, slice leek.
  • Add broccoli to a food processor and pulse until it's completely broken up. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your food processor.
  • Shred cheese.
  • When bacon is finished, place aside on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the grease. Add leeks to the hot pan with bacon grease and cook until softened.
  • In the meantime, add the eggs, cream, dairy-free milk, salt, and pepper to a big bowel. Use a hand mixer to blend for a minute.
  • Prepare a plate lined with paper towels. Scoop leeks out of pan and place on plate. Blot with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  • Once bacon is cooled, chop into bits.
  • In a round casserole dish (at least 9" diameter), pour a drizzle of olive oil. Use wax paper to evenly cook the bottom and sides of the dish.
  • Layer the dry ingredients starting with cheese, then 1/3 of the broccoli, 1/3 of the bacon, 1/3 of the leeks, and repeat until all ingredients are added. Pour egg mixture over the entire dish evenly.
  • Place on baking sheet and insert into oven on the middle rack.
  • Set timer for 50 minutes. It should be done between 50-60 minutes.

Notes

Dairy-free & Paleo: Skip the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese instead. Low FODMAP: Use greens of a scallion instead of the leeks. Skip the cheese (or use a low-lactose cheese instead). You may want to opt to skip the coconut cream and use 2 cups of the dairy-free milk instead.
Eat this with your favorite fruit or breakfast potatoes on the side.
