Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, 1 egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
- Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 eggs, heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- Spread the cooked sausage and spinach evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
- Pour the egg mixture over the filling in the pie dish, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown on top.
- Allow the quiche to cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips
- For added flavor, try incorporating herbs like thyme or oregano into the egg mixture.
- You can substitute the sausage with cooked bacon or turkey sausage for a different taste.
- This quiche can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a great option for meal prep!
