Ingredients

  • 1/2 Lb Grass-fed ground pork*
  • 1/2 tsp Dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 + 1/8 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 tsp Fennel seed
  • 1/8 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Onion powder
  • 5 Large eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Light canned coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Spinach, roughly chopped and tightly packed
  • 1 Low Carb Pie Crust, at room temperature (click for recipe) *

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Mix the pork with all the spices, up to (and including) the onion powder.  Heat a large skillet on medium heat and cook then pork until it is no longer pink, breaking it up into pieces and draining excess fat.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, coconut milk and salt until well mixed. Stir in the spinach and cooked sausage until well mixed.
  • Pour into the cooled pie crust and place into the oven. Bake for 20 minutes. Then, loosely cover the top with tinfoil and bake for another 18-20 minutes, until the eggs are set.
  • Let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes and then slice and DEVOUR!

Notes

*You can also just use 1/2 lb of Italian Ground Pork
**I have tried the pie crust without monkfruit and it works great. I do like the TOUCH of sweetness it provides though.
Pork seasoning from HERE.
