Instructions

Place cauiflower in a pot and cover with water then bring the pot to a boil. Boil 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is very soft. Cutting the cauliflower smaller will allow it to boil faster.
While the cauliflower boils, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet according to package instructions. Remove the turkey bacon from the heat and transfer to a cutting board to cool.
Drain the cauliflower and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by spraying with avocado oil.
Check the cauliflower to ensure it's room temperature. It is very important the cauliflower is at room temperature before mixing it with eggs. Once it is at room temperature, transfer it to a blender with the milk and blend on high until smooth.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the mixing bowl with the eggs and fold it together with the cheese. Chop the turkey bacon and green onion then transfer the egg mixture to the baking dish and top with the turkey bacon and green onion.
Bake 40-45 minutes or until the quiche is fully set in the center. Remove from the oven, cool 5 minutes at room temperature before slicing into 6 slices and eating.
Leftovers can be stored up to 5 days in the refrigerator. You can prepare this quiche ahead of time as well, place in the refrigerator overnight and bake the next day!

You can replace the egg whites with 4 whole eggs, however, please note this will significantly increase the calories per serving and reduce the protein.
