Ingredients

For The Crust

• 2 cups Almond Flour
• 1 Egg
• 2 ounces Butter, melted
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Ground Pepper

For The Filling

• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

How to Make Keto Spinach Quiche

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C).
   • Combine all crust ingredients in a bowl and mix well until a dough forms.
   • Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of a quiche dish.
   • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. It may puff up slightly but will settle as it cools.
2. Cook the Spinach:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
   • Add crushed garlic and spinach, along with a pinch of salt.
   • Sauté for 5-8 minutes or until the spinach is wilted and cooked.
   • Transfer the spinach to a colander to drain the excess liquid.
3. Assemble the Quiche:
   • Spread the cooked spinach evenly over the baked crust.
   • Sprinkle shredded Jarlsberg cheese over the spinach.
   • Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
   • Pour the egg mixture gently over the spinach and cheese.
4. Bake to Perfection:
   • Bake the quiche for 25-35 minutes, or until the center is set and doesn’t jiggle when gently shaken.
5. Serve & Enjoy:
   • Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing it into ten pieces.
   • Serve warm and savor the creamy, cheesy, and satisfying flavors!

Tips & Variations

• Crust Variations: Experiment with different low-carb crusts, such as a coconut flour crust or a crustless quiche.
• Cheese Options: While Jarlsberg is delicious, you can substitute other cheeses like Gruyère, cheddar, or parmesan.
• Add-Ins: Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or crumbled bacon to enhance the flavor and texture.
• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
• Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the quiche ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator or freezer—reheat when ready to serve.
