How to
Chop up or slice the three different color bell peppers, Onions and optional any other ingredients you would love to add in.
Sauté the bell peppers that are cut into strips and onions until lightly tender. It sis best to sauté the veggies before you add to the pie crust and with the egg custard. As the custard cooks faster than the veggies and you would not want partly cooked veggies with this fajita.
Make or obtain the pie base. Recipe –>Easy Shortbread Crust Pastry for pie base. (If you need a base for anti-inflammatory meal then use one baked with coconut flour)
Fill with the ingredients and the beaten egg, milk and cheese mix. Top with a few strips of bell peppers and more cheese on top and bake. Finally add some broken feta cheese pieces on top and serve for a meal.
Anti inflammatory Veggies
Peppers such as bell peppers, chili and cayenne peppers are loaded with vit C and antioxidants that have powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Chili peppers contain sinapic acid and ferulis acid that reduces anti-inflammatory conditions and supports healthy aging.
Place a few peppers on this quiche with maybe some tomatoes that were sauté in a little olive oil for that extra goodness. (feta a goat cheese and swiss cheese and a coconut flour base are ingredients to use)
