The Crust: A Grain-Free, Herb-Infused Base
This versatile Paleo quiche crust is the perfect base for all kinds of savory pies, especially quiche. Made with a mix of almond flour and tapioca starch, it’s light yet sturdy and brings a touch of garlic and herbs to each bite.
Ingredients for the Crust:
1 1/4 cups Blanched Almond Flour
2/3 cup Tapioca Starch
1 Tbsp Garlic & Herb Seasoning (or 1 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper)
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
Instructions for the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, and spices.
Whisk the eggs until frothy, then add them to the flour mixture. Mix in the melted coconut oil, kneading the dough to create a smooth texture.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie pan, forming a thin, even layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, then let the crust cool slightly while preparing the filling.
