The Almond-crusted Keto Quiche is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy a savory meal at any time. This low-carb quiche is perfect for those following a keto diet or anyone looking for a healthier alternative to traditional quiches. Its almond flour crust gives it a rich, nutty flavor while providing a gluten-free option, and the filling is packed with flavorful ingredients like cheddar cheese, green pepper, and bacon.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, olive oil, dried oregano, and 1/4 tsp of salt.
- Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the almond flour mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
- Place the pie dish with the crust in the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the crust begins to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced green pepper, crumbled bacon, minced garlic, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Mix until everything is well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked almond crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the assembled quiche in the oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the top is golden brown.
- You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the quiche; it should come out clean.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Ensure you evenly press the almond flour mixture into the pie dish to create a firm and consistent crust.
- Pre-cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a delightful texture contrast in every bite.
- When whisking the eggs, make sure they are well-beaten to give your quiche a light and fluffy texture.
- Don't over-bake the quiche; keep an eye on it and remove it from the oven once it's set and golden brown on top.
Enjoy your homemade Almond-crusted Keto Quiche as a delicious main course or pair it with a green salad for a complete meal. This recipe not only satisfies your taste buds but also aligns with your dietary goals. It's easy to prepare and sure to become a favorite go-to dish in your kitchen.
