Egg Spinach 'Quiche' with a Cauliflower Crust


So today I was feeling a little creative and decided to try my luck at making a paleo version of a quiche while keeping it low carb to fit my dietary 'lifestyle'. 

I started off by steaming a head of cauliflower for about 20 minutes on high then letting it sit for 15 minutes with the cover on so it gets a little mushy.






I then took about 1/2 of the cauliflower head and mashed it. After that I lined my 12" pie dish with the mashed cauliflower and pressed it down with my potato masher.


I cut up about 2 cups of raw spinach and mixed it in a bowl with 8 eggs, 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, 3/4 tsp of cumin, 1/4 tsp of chili powder, and 1/4 tsp of black pepper.




After everything was all mixed I put it in the pie dish and baked everything at 350F for 35-40 minutes.





It ended up coming out pretty good, I really enjoyed it. It could definitely use some salt if you want though.
