Instructions
ALMOND FLOUR CRUST
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F electric or 160C / 320F fan assisted. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish with parchment paper and grease the sides really well with butter.
- Place the almond flour and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly. Add the butter and egg and pulse until the mixture forms a ball. Alternatively, stir together with a fork, then knead.
- Press the dough into the pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork multiple times so it does not bubble up.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until slightly golden, then let cool.
FILLING
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes. Add broccoli and sauté a further 3 - 4 minutes until al-dente. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, cream, almond milk, cheeses, Dijon mustard, pepper, salt and thyme. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Once the broccoli has cooled, add to the egg mix and stir to combine.
ASSEMBLY
- Turn the oven up to 200C / 400F electric or 180C / 350F fan assisted.
- Pour the filling into the pastry and bake for 35 - 45 minutes until set. If the crust starts to brown a bit too much, loosely cover with a ring of aluminium foil.
- Allow to cool to firm up. Remove from the pie dish and slice.
Notes
- This quiche yields eight slices with about 8g net carbs per slice, suitable for keto diets.
- Cheeses can be varied individually or combined, for example, using all cheddar, all gruyere, Monterey Jack, or Gouda.
- Additional keto-friendly fillings like cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, kale, tomatoes, or cooked meats such as sausage or bacon can be used.
- Store leftovers refrigerated for up to three days or freeze for up to two months, reheating in the oven for about five minutes.
