1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Dash Pepper
1 cup Nutiva Coconut Flour

     Stir together Eggs, Oil and Pepper.  Add Coconut Flour and sliced Butter, stir into mixture and then use pastry cutter to fully incorporate.  Pat into Pam sprayed pie plate on bottom and up edge, bake at 400 for 10 minutes.  Remove and set aside.

     Heat Butter in skillet, add diced Onions, and Garlic til golden brown.  Then add in sliced Mushrooms til cooked thoroughly, then add in sliced Bacon til crisped, and finish with Asparagus til crisp tender.  Remove from heat and stir in Gruyere and Eggs and pour in baked crust and top with diced Tomato.  (If desired you can reserve and top Quiche with some of the Asparagus Spears vs stirring all into batter.)  Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, covering edge with foil as to not burn edges of crust.  Enjoy  :)
