Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ⅓ cup olive oil or butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoon water

Quiche

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 oz turkey bacon diced small
  • 1 small red onion diced small
  • 1 5-oz bag fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 6 Eggland's Best eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 cup cheese divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease 9-inch pie dish.
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together all crust ingredients until ball forms.
  • Press crust into pie dish evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
  • While crust is baking, saute onions and turkey bacon in olive oil on medium-high heat. Once cooked through, add in spinach until wilted. Turn off heat and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ½ cup cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Add in turkey bacon mixture and pour into slightly cooled crust. It can still be warm, just not hot.
  • Add the remaining cheese on top and bake for 35-40 minutes or until no longer jiggly. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let cool 20 minutes before cutting into it.
  • Enjoy!
  • Store leftovers in the fridge, covered in foil.

Notes

  • Pre-bake the almond flour crust for 15-20 minutes before adding the filling. Skipping this step leads to a soggy bottom.
  • Cool after sauteing. Sauté the onions, bacon, and spinach first, then let them cool before folding into the egg mixture. Adding them hot can affect the texture.
  • Cool before serving. Let the quiche cool a full 20 minutes before cutting. It will finish setting up as it cools.
