Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Zucchini, diced
- 1 cup Baby spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.
Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
Distribute the diced zucchini, chopped spinach, and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the baked crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese, ensuring it fills all the gaps.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Low Carb Vegetarian Quiche as a standalone meal or pair it with a simple green salad.
