Gluten-Free Quiche
This gluten-free quiche is a great grab-and-go dish for those hectic mornings and is protein and veg-filled!
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 3/4 cup coconut flour, see note
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour, see note
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk, or grass-fed milk
- 3 eggs
For the filling:
- 3 cups raw spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk, or grass-fed milk
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 sweet onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 7 eggs
- Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Optional, 1 cup fresh basil
- Optional, 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g. mozzarella, cheddar)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and coconut oil. Then slowly add in the flours. **Warning: the dough will seem extremely dense and thick– this is completely normal as you’ll form the dough with your hands.
- Once the dough is complete, grease a 9″ inch pie pan with coconut oil and add in your dough pretty evenly. Stab the center with a fork a few times so it gets air and cooks through.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until slightly golden.
- While the dough is cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Add in salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and make sure to whisk well so it looks fluffy.
- Then add in your onions, garlic, bell pepper, and spinach and whisk together evenly.
- Remove the pie crust, and turn oven to 375°F.
- Pour in the filling, and make sure the spinach is completely submerged by the liquid.
- Place the pie in the oven for 35 minutes, or until the filling is jiggly, but not liquidy.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes, or if you cannot resist like me, cut a piece immediately and enjoy! Makes great leftovers too.
Notes
*If you don’t have these flours, 1.25 cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour will suffice!
