Spinach and mushroom quiche

This spinach and mushroom quiche is not super creamy like a quiche with milk or cheese in it. The coconut flour gives it a slight cake-like texture and adds a bit of sweetness to the savoury spinach and onions. The key to really good flavour (and nutrition) is to use really good eggs.
