Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced ham. Add the optional green onions if using.
Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked crust.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Let the quiche cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
