  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 cup non-dairy cheese, shredded
  • 1/2lb cooked bacon, crumbled (bacon makes EVERYTHING better!)
  • 1 can canned coconut milk (use full fat)

  • 3-4 drops sriracha hot sauce

Note

The day we got the results back for my son's allergy testing, we had quiche on the menu for dinner. When the doctor told us he was sensitive to gluten, dairy, and egg, I was shocked. He LOVED quiche--I would consider quiche to be one of his top five meals. When we told him that he had food allergies and couldn't eat certain foods for a while, it didn't bother him until we told him he couldn't have quiche. He cried and cried, asking, "But WHY, mama?" It was heartbreaking. Once I converted my mom's quiche recipe using coconut milk, duck egg and Living Without's allergy friendly crust, we again had a quiche recipe that gave my boy something to look forward to. I hope you like it!
