Ingredients: 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish whole wheat pie crust; Avocado oil, for sauteing; 1 onion, diced; 1 bell pepper, diced (we used 1/2 red and 1/2 yellow); 2 cups shredded cheese (we used a Mexican blend of Cheddar, Colby, and Monterey Jack, but we've tried with Mozzarella and it came out great, too); 2 tbsp whole wheat pastry flour; 4 eggs; 1 ¼ cups milk; ½ tsp salt; 1 tsp dried basil; ¼ tsp ground pepper; 1 tsp garlic powder; ½ tsp parsley

Preheat oven to 400F.

Bake pie crust in preheated oven until firm, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 375 F.

Saute onions and peppers in avocado oil over medium heat until onions are caramelized and peppers are soft.

While vegetables are cooking, mix cheese and flour together in a small bowl.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, and spices together.
