RECIPE: Fortune Favors Sweet & Spicy Quiche (VEG)

When’s the last time you had a spicy quiche? If you answered never then we have something special for you. With the addition of The Spicy pecans, not to mention bacon, this recipe has something a little extra that pretty much all quiches are lacking…complex flavors!

This recipe can be made gluten free with an easy adaptation of the pastry shell!

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. butter (melted)

  • 8 slices bacon (cooked, crumbled)

  • 4 eggs (beaten)

  • ½ tsp. salt

  • 1 onion (chopped)

  • ⅓ cup The Spicy pecans (chopped)

  • 1 cup cheddar or Swiss cheese (shredded)

  • 2 cups half and half

  • 1 dash black pepper

  • 9” quiche/pastry shell (gluten free or keto if you want!)

  2. Prepare quiche/pastry shell and bake at 450 degrees for five minutes.
