Total time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 heaped tablespoon butter, ghee, or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup yellow or orange bell pepper (finely chopped)
  • 2 heaped tablespoons onion (finely chopped)
  • 3/4 cups riced broccoli
  • 3 Large whole eggs
  • 1 cup MuscleEgg organic egg whites
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons coconut four
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 cup hash browns OR jicama (shredded)

Optional

  • 3/4 cups grated cheddar or cheese of choice

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and coat a pie pan or baking dish with non stick spray or butter.
Step 2
Heat butter/ghee/or coconut oil in a skillet under low/medium heat. Sauté onion, peppers, and broccoli until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add a little salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
In a blender combine eggs, egg whites, coconut flour, salt & pepper. Mix for 30-45 seconds until light and fluffy. Let sit for 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add hash browns (or jicama for keto version) to the greased dish, sprinkle on cooked/cooled veggies, then pour in egg mixture. Top with cheese if desired.
Step 5
Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are golden brown, have begun to pull away from edges, and center is just set (a LITTLE wiggle is perfect because it will continue to cook a bit longer).
Step 6
Top with fresh avocado or guacamole, portion, and store/serve.
