James and I restarted back on the low carb eating, and I needed to prep some meals for the week. Since we have 64,000 chickens and ducks, eggs are always in steady supply, and I wanted to try a low carb quiche.
Found a great recipe for coconut flour crust which we tweaked a little, and it came out AWESOME.
1/2 cup melted butter
2 eggs
pinch of salt
3/4 cup coconut flour
We also added about half a cup of shredded cheese to ours
You'll have to pardon my photos-- James and I are remodeling the kitchen (phase 2), so I've been without real floors or an stove or counter space for a few weeks. We also had a field mouse infestation this month, so I haven't wanted to touch ANYTHING, anywhere, because every time I went to grab something, a mouse would run out from behind it and scare the living bejeezus out of me. Been a fun month.
You mix the ingredients, which form a nice dough, press it into a pie tin, poke a bunch of holes in it, then bake at 400° for 9 minutes. Thankfully I've got my MAK on the back deck, so we were able to still cook despite not having a stove!
After those were pulled out and cooled down a bit, we added cheese and mushrooms, and chopped bacon/sausage,
I mixed some chopped spinach in with several duck eggs and about 1/4 cup of cream, poured that into the pie, and put it back on the MAK until it was set firmly in the center.
James thought it needed more cheese, so we sprinkled a bit on top after we pulled it from the grill.
Will absolutely do this again-- had great texture, good flavor, and it was really really nice to have a crust. I've done crustless quiche before, and it just doesn't do it for me. We made three of these-- they freeze and reheat really well, so they're great to have on hand for last minute dinners.
Here's a slice for you!
