    This low carb savoury quiche is packed with broccoli and brie cheese, making it perfect for an easy dinner or light lunch.

    I find that a quiche is an easy option to have with a side salad.  Served hot or cold it is a filling low carb meal.  Almond flour is used to make the low carb quiche pastry and has a rich, buttery texture.   When you slice the quiche the crust may crumble, so treat it gently.

    Broccoli is normally paired with Cheddar cheese but for this broccoli quiche I used soft and creamy brie cheese.   I’ve also made this broccoli quiche with a soft herb brie which was just as delicious.    If you can’t find a good brie, then a cheeky Camembert will be a great replacement.

    Brie Tips

    Ensure that you use a ripe brie for full flavour.  When Brie is ripe, the outside should be firm.  When pressed with fingertips at the centre of the cheese, the body should yield gently and be supple. If it resists, the cheese is not yet ripe. If it gives way completely, the cheese is overripe.  If you get thrown out of the supermarket for squeezing and poking the brie you may have been a bit over zealous!

    Choose a French brie.  No one else makes Brie as good as the French. 

    Brie in a tinned can should be thrown out.  It’s an abomination to the cheese industry!

    Feel free to add some ham or bacon to this broccoli quiche too.   Both would go well with the flavours of brie and broccoli.   It keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days, with any leftovers making a great lunch box addition too!

      This was really good but next time I'll add more cheese and more salt and pepper and put foil around the edges to prevent burning. The crust was perfect, no crumbling. 👍

      This is in the oven now. I hope it turns out to be delicious. I will let you know. 😊 Just a thought, you might add a last step to pour the egg mixture over the broccoli then put it in the oven.👍

      Thanks for sharing this recipe. It was super easy, and Brie cheese tastes so good! I ate half of this quiche for breakfast! The crust was crumbly and dry. I’d rather skip it, and normally I don’t like the crust on any quiche or pie anyway. Otherwise, this quiche is great.
