Ingredients
- For the crust:
- - 1 1/2 cups almond flour 150g
- - 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted (60g)
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- For the filling:
- - 6 large eggs
- - 1 cup heavy cream 240ml
- - 1 cup Gruyère cheese shredded (100g)
- - 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- - Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, and salt, mixing until it forms a dough.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan, forming an even crust.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes, or until it's lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, black pepper, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded Gruyère cheese onto the cooled crust.
- Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon over the cheese layer.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and cheese.
- Top with the remaining Gruyère cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- To ensure the quiche is cooked evenly, place the pie pan on a baking sheet before putting it in the oven.
- Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it set and hold its shape.
- The quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for a longer shelf life.
- For a crustless version, simply grease the pie pan, skip the crust ingredients and steps, and bake the filling directly in the pan.
- Feel free to add herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor.
- Always use pre-shredded cheese for convenience or shred your own for a fresher taste and better meltability.
