Low Carb Three Cheese Quiche
This deliciously indulgent low carb quiche is filled with 3 different cheeses in a creamy custard and encased in a crisp pastry.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Add the ground almonds, flax and coconut oil to a food processor. Pulse to combine and form a crumb.
Step 3
Season the flour mix with salt and pepper and add 1 egg to the food processor. Blend slowly until the mixture comes together as dough.
Step 4
Press the dough evenly into a loose bottomed tart tin – approximately 18cm, and place in the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Remove and leave to cool.
Step 5
While the pastry is baking, you can make the filling. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low medium heat. Slice the onions and garlic and add to the hot pan, frying gently until softened – about 4 minutes.
Step 6
Once cooked, arrange the onion and garlic in the cooked pastry and reduce the oven temperature to 360 degrees.
Step 7
Add the cream and the remaining eggs to a mixing bowl, season and whisk together.
Step 8
Add the grated cheddar, gruyere and mozzarella to the cream mixture and stir through well to combine.
Step 9
Pour the cheese mixture into the pastry case over the onions and garlic.
Step 10
Place in the oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes until cooked through and golden brown on top. Leave to cool before removing from the tin.
