Mini Quiche, Paleo Style!

Ingredients

Muffin Pan:
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour or almond meal or flour
Filling:
• 1 bunch green onions, diced
• 1/2 carrot, grated
• 1 handful green herbs like parsley or cilantro (I used arugula because I love the tart flavor)
• 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
• 6 ounces (1/2 package) natural, unsweetened Prosciutto, cut into small pieces, (The meat is optional)
Batter:
• 1/2 cup almond meal or flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 to 3/8 teaspoon unprocessed salt
• Plenty ground black pepper
• 9 eggs, organic and pasture-raised if possible.
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, or your favorite alternative milk
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional, for cheese flavor)
• 1 tablespoons lemon or lime juice (optional, for sharp cheese flavor)

Instructions

Muffin Pan:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease and flour a 12-muffin tin, to keep muffins from sticking.
Filling:
2. Layer into the bottom of each muffin tin: green onion, carrot, green herbs, shredded coconut. Add optional meat, if desired. With the handle of a spoon, push the filling toward the center and away from the edges in each muffin cup. This helps the eggs fill in the sides for a pretty muffin shape.
Batter:
3. In a mixing bowl or food processor, mix all batter ingredients: almond meal, baking powder, salt, pepper, eggs, coconut milk, yeast, and lemon or lime juice, if using. Mix well. Slowly pour batter over the filling in the muffin tins. Fill them all the way to the top.
Bake & Serve!
4. Bake 24 - 28 minutes, or until muffins have risen and are slightly browned. Enjoy! These are yummy WARM!
