Ingredients

Keto Pie Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 5 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 3 teaspoons water or as needed
  • Egg wash 1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon of water

Filling

  • 1 small package of cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup basil thinly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup cream
  • 3 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Some basil for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Keto Pie Crust

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: Add almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt to a food processor. Pulse until evenly combined.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Add in the egg and apple cider vinegar. Pulse until the dough just begins to come together. The mixture should resemble coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Form Dough: Turn out the dough onto cling film (plastic wrap) and pat into a round disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least one hour. Alternatively, you can freeze the dough and thaw it as needed.
  • Roll Out Dough: Roll out the crust between parchment paper. If the dough becomes unmanageable, chill it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Pre-Bake Crust: Once shaped, place the crust in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before baking to help it keep its shape. Brush with egg wash for a glossy finish (optional). Bake at 390°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Prepare the Filling

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Mix Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, garlic powder, cream, eggs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.

Assemble the Quiche

  • Pour Filling into Crust: Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. Garnish with some basil.
