Directions To make the crust: Step 1 Preheat the oven to 325F. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter until the dough resembles coarse crumbs. Step 2 Turn the loose dough out into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to even out the bottom of the crust. Step 3 Crimp edges of crust and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes, until slightly puffed and just starting to brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. To make the filling: Step 1 In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Take care not to let onions get crispy. Step 2 Fill the cooled crust with caramelized onions and half of the grated Gruyére cheese. Step 3 In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the onions and cheese. Sprinkle the top of the quiche with remaining grated cheese. Step 4 Bake quiche 35-40 minutes or until the filling is just set in the center. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Rate this Recipe Share this Recipe How much did you enjoy this recipe? How much did you enjoy this recipe?

Thanks for giving it a try! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Kathy Cooke December 25, 2020 Delicious! Easy to make - quicker than I thought, although you have to wait for it to bake. I baked it for 30 minutes, and the center was set by then. The thyme gives it a wonderful flavor, and it came out extremely custard-y, which was wonderful. Would be great with a little crumbled bacon or chopped ham, but it was great as is. The crust was slightly crumbly, but it still held together pretty well for a keto crust. Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 2 Replies Vicky March 01, 2021 I’m using chopped ham with Swiss cheese, what I have on hand. I’m sure it’ll be great. You know, keto pie crust is so much easier to make! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Marco December 26, 2020 Hi Kathy, We are so happy to hear that you have been enjoying our quiche! Be well! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Gordon December 24, 2020 The crust! We’ve been making crustless quiches for keto, but this one is amazing. Of course, using the best eggs we have ever eaten helps immensely! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply Marco December 26, 2020 Hey Gordon, We are so happy to hear you are enjoying our eggs! We'd love to see your pictures of the quiche on social media! Be well! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Cathy December 07, 2020 I want to make this so much, but I live on a small island in the Caribbean. If you can find Gruyére cheese, it is smoked Gruyére, which tastes totally different. They don’t understand about buying what people like, they say it sells out too fast. We try to explain, that’s what you want, so buy more of what we like and less of what sits on the shelves, but they just don’t get it. If they get regular Gruyére in, we all buy as soon as it hits the shelves! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] December 08, 2020 Hi Cathy, thanks for viewing this recipe! We are so glad you are interested in trying it and can't wait to hear what you think. If you're having trouble finding gruyere, you may want to try substituting for a swiss cheese or something more widely available in your area. Hope this helps! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Jeanette November 24, 2020 I had some leftover liver and onions and I came across this recipe so I decided to make this quiche with that. I added some sautéed mushrooms to the liver and onion mix. Let me tell you this was AMAZING! I will say that the crust did not hold together well, it is crumbly, and the eggs did not mix in with the liver and onions in the pie crust, but as I said it was amazing. Next time, and yes there will be a next time I may add the eggs to the onions before putting anything into the crust so it is actually mixed together. Thanks for this great recipe! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] November 30, 2020 So glad you enjoyed this recipe and were able to put your own little twist to it! Quiches are so versatile which is one of the many reasons why we love making them so much. We're sorry to hear the crust was a little too crumbly this time. Almond flour can be pretty dry and crumbly so it may help if you add slightly more butter next time to help the dry ingredients stick more firmly together. If you aren't strict keto, you could also substitute in a normal pie crust. Wishing you many more delicious quiches like this one! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Andrea November 14, 2020 Hi, I was wondering about the amount of onion (high in carbs) how many grams do you use? Because onion sizes are ... well... really different ... thanks! Planning for tonight dinner! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply Deneé@peteandgerrys.com November 14, 2020 Great question, Andrea! Unfortunately, we haven't measured for grams for the onion in this recipe. We prefer using medium white onions for this quiche, if that offers any help. Happy baking!

Sonja Maria April 06, 2020 I calculate my macros everyday and I'm always happy to have more recipes with good macros at my disposal to keep my family and I on track. This one is absolutely great. Ocassionally I have switched out the filling for different things like bacon and mushroom or cherry tomato fresh mozza and fresh basil for variation. I have also reduced the melted butter of the filling by a couple tablespoons and replaced it with a couple tablespoons of bacon fat when I've got it on hand. Fantastic yummy and versatile!

I would say that the crust isn't all that good after the first day but the filling is just delicious! I'm planning on making this again! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. 1 Reply [email protected] October 04, 2018 We're so thrilled that you enjoyed it, Lynn! It's true that almond flour crust does not hold up quite as well as regular crust, but it can still be delicious after soaking up a bit of that creamy egg mixture. If you decide to reheat leftovers, baking them for a very short time at a high temperature should help bring some crunch back into that crust. Glad to hear that this is one of those recipes you'll keep going back to! Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch. Sherry August 22, 2018 This was awesome Reply Page 1 Created with Sketch.
