You’ll love this easy peasy grain free quiche. Makes a great treat on the weekend.
The crust
What you will need:
1 cup flax seed
water
coconut flour (to roll it out)
How to do it:
Blend flax into flour
Add enough water to be able to form a dough with hands (if you accidentally add too much, let it sit for an hour)
Create a golf size ball and roll out into crust (use the remaining in other recipes) using coconut flour to keep it from sticking.
Pre bake it at 350 F degrees for 5 min before adding the filling.
For the filling
What you will need:
1 small zuchinni (slice very thinly with mandolin)
1 small red onion (slice into rounds)
2 large mushrooms (slice very thinly with mandolin)
1/4 cup butter
2 cups shredded parmesan
4 eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 – 3/4 tsp salt
How to do it:
Saute red onion rounds in the butter until caramelized.
Add zucchini and mushrooms and keep sauteing until it’s a texture you like.
Place veggies into flat crust.
Mix eggs, whipping cream and salt in a separate bowl and then pour on top of the veggies.
Top with shredded parmesan
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Let cool about 10 min, slice and serve with sauerkraut on the side!
I’ve tried my fair share of grain free pizza doughs. While they all taste good, they often fall apart and rarely look like the real thing.
This recipe has been rocking our kitchen for a few months now and it is sooo versatile. We use it for both pizza and quiche (planning to try it for pie too!)
By the way, almond flour is way more nutritious than whole wheat flour (and of course gluten and grain free). In our house, pizza is a health food!
NOTE: Some almond flours have different behaviors so use more or less depending on the one you have in your kitchen (this recipe uses Bob’s Red Mill brand).
Just like White ‘flour’ Dough
What you will need:
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast)
1/4 tsp unrefined salt
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 eggs
How to do it:
Step 1: Gently melt coconut oil on the stovetop.
Step 2: Whisk eggs in a small bowl.
Step 3: Put remaining ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix with a fork.
Step 4: Stir whisked eggs into the batter and then stir in the coconut oil in after (otherwise if you stir them both in at the same time, you risk cooking the eggs from the heat of the coconut oil).
Step 5: Form into pizza crust or quiche shell.
Step 6: Bake crust @ 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.
Step 7: Fill or top and then bake until cheese melts for pizza or until eggs set for quiche (this all depending on the recipe you are using for quiche- you might be able to get away without precooking the shell)
