#1,086: Sweet n’ Savory Quiche


I was looking for a Whole30 approved meal to make ahead for breakfasts this week and came across this recipe.  Doesn't it look good?  Maybe I'm just hungry so it's looking extra yummy right now.  Yeah that must be it, because that's not a very good photo.  :) 

You can really taste the cinnamon in this which makes this sweeter rather than savory, but it is still good.  I love the bacon and sausage in this.  Of course this would be even better with cheese but I'm not eating that these days.  :(
9 Eggs
1/2 lb ground beef (I used natural ground pork sausage and some bacon)
2 C Spinach
1/2 Sweet Yellow Onion
1/2 t unsweetened cocoa powder
1 and 1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t vanilla extract
1/2 t salt


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small pan over low-medium heat, brown onions in coconut oil (or bacon fat) until tender. Add ground beef and cook until brown. Mix in 1 t cinnamon and salt. Then mix in the cocoa powder. In a medium-large bowl, whisk eggs, remaining cinnamon and the vanilla extract. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with coconut oil or bacon fat and pour egg mixture into the dish. Spread the chopped spinach onto the egg mixture. Finally, pour the meat/onion mixture into the dish on top of the eggs. Spread the meat out evenly and make sure the spinach gets covered in egg. Place in the oven and cook for 45 minutes or until the quiche starts to lightly brown on the top or begins to rise.
