Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh asparagus
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large eggs
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 120 g almond flour
- 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 100 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a pie pan and set it aside.
Rinse the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Cut spears into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook until it is lightly steamed and tender, approximately 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add almond flour, baking powder, grated Parmesan, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix until combined.
Spread the cooked asparagus evenly into the greased pie pan.
Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus, making sure everything is even and well distributed.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Asparagus Pie!
