Ingredients

  • 4 slices smoked bacon such as Benton's bacon
  • 1 tart crust or tortillas
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/3 cup cream
  • 12 large shrimp
  • 1 tablespoon Butt rub or your favorite rub like Slap Ya Mama
  • 1/3 cup pistou
  • 4 grape tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup medium sharp white cheddar cheese
  • salt pepper to season

Pistou

  • 2 handfulls basil
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic

Instructions

  • Cut bacon into one inch pieces. Fry on medium heat until crispy. Remove with slotted spoon, drain on paper towel.
  • Sprinkle shrimp with butt rub. You could also make a rub with paprika, cayenne to your liking. Or use a spicy rub of your choice.
  • Fry shrimp in bacon grease about a minute on each side. Drain on paper towels.
  • Prepare quiche pan with either this tart crust(see below for gluten free option) or tortillas.
  • I cut the tortillas and overlapped to fit the quiche pan. Spray with non-stick spray first or grease pan with butter and flour to prevent sticking.
  • Beat eggs and incorporate cream and salt and pepper.
  • Add cheese to egg mixture.
  • Place quiche pan onto a baking sheet. Wrap bottom and sides tightly with foil.
  • Place tart crust onto pan. Or place tortillas in pan. You may need to cut and overlap a little, which is fine.
  • Pour egg mixture into pan.
  • Add shrimp, bacon, tomatoes.
  • Spoon pistou into the egg mixture, randomly.

Pistou

  • handfuls of fresh basil with stems removed
  • /3 cup olive oil
  • garlic clove, minced
  • salt, pepper
  • Using either mortar and pestle or mini food process, mix into a basil paste to the consistency of a pesto you will be able to spoon into the quiche mixture.
  • Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.
  • !Gluten Free Option can be found here.
