Equipment

Ingredients
  

Keto Pie Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ounce cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 egg

Quiche Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped ham
  • 1/2 cup asparagus chopped tough ends removed
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

To prepare the crust:

  • Combine almond flour, salt, butter and cream cheese in a food processor or mixer and mix until it resembles course crumbs.
  • Add in one egg and apple cider vinegar (this helps to achieve a crisp, flaky crust) and mix again until well combined.
  • Roll the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow the butter time to harden again.
  • When ready to use the dough press it into the prepared pan (you can roll the dough, but it is sticky and I find it easier to press the dough into the pan)
  • Lightly press the dough into the bottom of a 12-count muffin tin and up the sides.

For the filling:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a second mixing bowl, combine the eggs and heavy cream, whisk until smooth, set aside.
  • Add the chopped ham, asparagus and cheese to the muffin tins and pour egg mixture over top until each cavity is 3/4 full.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes until the quiches have set.

-------------------------------------------------------
This recipe easily makes 12 very full quiche cups. If you prefer to roll your dough a little thinner and use less filling in each quiche cup (about 1/2 full) you can stretch it to 18 quiche cups.
