Almond-crusted keto quiche FAQ:
To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the quiche. It should come out clean when the quiche is fully set. The top should also be golden brown.
While the recipe calls for a 9-inch pie dish, you can use other similar-sized pans, but baking time may vary. Keep an eye on the quiche and check for doneness as described.
Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It can be reheated in the oven or microwave before serving.
For a bacon substitute, you can use diced turkey bacon, cooked sausage, or omit it altogether for a vegetarian version. Adjust seasoning as needed.
To make the quiche dairy-free, substitute the cheddar cheese with a dairy-free cheese alternative. You can also use almond milk or coconut milk in place of any dairy ingredients.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure you evenly press the almond flour mixture into the pie dish to create a firm and consistent crust.
- Pre-cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a delightful texture contrast in every bite.
- When whisking the eggs, make sure they are well-beaten to give your quiche a light and fluffy texture.
- Don't over-bake the quiche; keep an eye on it and remove it from the oven once it's set and golden brown on top.
