What Makes This Recipe So Good
Quiche is a delicious, savory, rich, satisfying French dish that can be made with any number of or type of mix-ins you like. If you’re keto, though, it has one major downfall… the flour crust. Crustless quiches are super popular, and delicious in their own right, but sometimes you just want a low carb copycat of the real deal, crust included. That’s what you get with this keto quiche! A totally keto-friendly filling baked right in to a totally keto-friendly pie crust. Not only is it low carb, but it’s also gluten free, so you can tackle a couple of dietary needs all in one recipe.If meal prep is your thing, you’ll love this recipe. It’s super easy to make, it stores and reheats well, and you can divide it into as many servings as you need to fit your day. Make your quiche on Sunday and portion the slices into individual containers you can grab on your way out the door in the week, or prepare the quiche as-written and freeze it whole or in individual slices to enjoy later on.Not a fan of ham? No problem! Replace it with bacon or sausage, or go meatless and use veggies like spinach or peppers or mushrooms instead. Just like traditional quiche, a keto quiche is totally customizable. You can also play with the seasonings you use, different types of cheeses, various meat + veggie combos, whatever makes your taste buds happiest!
Chef’s Tips
This recipe starts with a fully-prepared, homemade keto pie crust. We don’t include making the crust in the quiche prep time because the crust starts out already prepared. Part of the pie crust process is a 70-minute chill time and a 10-minute bake time, so be sure to factor that in if you’re making the pie crust right before you make the quiche. You can prepare the pie crust up to 3 days in advance and just refrigerate it in an airtight container until you’re ready to make your quiche.If you prepare the pie crust in advance, remove it from the fridge and let it come to room temperature before starting your quiche. If you’re making the pie crust right before you make the quiche, bake the crust at 325°F for 10 minutes as instructed in the pie crust recipe, and then proceed with the quiche recipe. Don’t forget to adjust the temp on the oven!Want to really wow your friends and family? Whip up an easy hollandaise sauce (it’s keto, too!) to serve on the side or drizzle over the top of the quiche. Famously used on eggs benedict, hollandaise is a creamy, rich sauce made with butter, egg yolks, heavy cream, and a little lemon juice. It’s a perfect compliment for the crispy keto quiche crust.
