    The crust on this quiche is one of nicest gluten free ones I have tasted and thanks to a reader (Jazzy-k) who shared a recipe with me for a pie crust which had these ingredients.   I slightly changed the quantities, added butter and voila!

    Delicious gluten free quiche

     A lovely buttery, crumbly Quiche pastry!  It reminds me of a wholewheat pastry case.   The Chief Taster thinks that this would be great as a cheesecake base too (sweetened up though) which is on the list of things to bake.  Although he suggests cheesecake for most recipes...it's an obsession with him.

    You could have any fillings in this Quiche but broccoli and blue cheese is my personal favourite.  Take the base recipe, throw your own fillings and get creative!

    Glorious gluten free crust!

    Broccoli & Blue Cheese Quiche

    Ingredients
      

    Base

    • 2 ½ cups almond flour
    • ½ cup ground golden flaxseed
    • ¼ cup coconut flour
    • 1 tblspn psyllium powder
    • 2 tspn baking soda
    • 120 g butter softened at room temperature

    Filling

    • 10 eggs
    • 500 g broccoli florets
    • 125 g blue cheese
    • ½ tspn salt
    • ½ tspn pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees.
    • Place all the base ingredients into a bowl and work the butter into the dried ingredients until a dough like mixture is obtained (add a drop of water if too dry).
    • Grease a pie dish with butter and place the dough into the dish, spreading it out evenly with your hands across the bottom and up along the sides.
    • Bake for 20 minutes.
    • Whilst the "crust" is cooking, place the broccoli florets into a saucepan, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain and wash in cold water to stop the cooking process.
    • After removing the pie dish from the oven, reduce the temperature to 180C/350F degrees.
    • Whisk the eggs and add the seasoning.
    • Place the broccoli in the pie dish, scatter the blue cheese around it.
    • Pour over the egg mixture.
    • Bake for 45 minutes until firm.
    • Eat and enjoy!
    • Serves 4-8 (4 large quarters, or 8 less hungry slices)

      Hi can you just halve the ingredients to make a smaller one .?

      I plan to try this one during the cold winter months. We love comfort foods and miss some of the old carb laden ones. This looks great!
      But I don't have the golden flaxseed. Think I could substitute something for it?

        Hope you enjoy it as it is very much a great comfort food! A darker flaxseed would work, or if you don't have any available, slightly increase the pysllium powder. Enjoy!

          Thanks for the advice on the psyllium powder! (I was hoping you'd offer some advice.)

      I usually make but few quiches basically because of the crust ingredients: but, as Sally has said, this one is really different and interesting and except for psyllium at the moment I also have all in hand. Can't wait to try as both broccoli and blue cheese are firm friends 🙂 !!

      Very intrigued about this crust, such a fun bunch of ingredients, and I happen to have them all in the pantry....

      it will have to wait a little, though - it's been one of those weeks with way too many commitments (= eating out) and I need to go back to moderation this weekend.

      broccoli and blue cheese sounds perfect for a quiche concoction!

        The crust is just lovely and I hope you enjoy it. It's a great base to play around with and I plan to tweak it further for a pie crust. Let me know how it works out for you!
