Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 pieces Bacon slices
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, softened unsalted butter, one large egg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use your fingers to smooth it out and press it against the sides of the dish. Set aside.
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove to a paper towel to drain, then chop into small pieces.
Sprinkle the chopped bacon evenly across the prepared crust, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, four large eggs, and black pepper until fully combined.
Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon and cheese layers in the crust.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Top with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness. Serve warm.
