Keto Diet Recipe - Spinach and Mushroom Quiche

For some time now @megstar has been encouraging me to share some ketogenic diet recipes here. I’ve actually thought about it but don’t feel comfortable because most of them contain meat and I’m a pescatarian. If I could I would discourage you from eating meat and not give you meat recipes to enjoy! 😅

But if you’re already on a keto diet or want to go on a keto diet for health reasons I’ll my recipes with you. You could always start with meat and when you do become a pescatarian or vegetarian or vegan one day you could adjust the recipes.

But I just happen to have one vegetarian keto recipe and I’m sharing that with you today 😊

Today’s recipe is Spinach and Mushroom Quiche.

Base:

1 1/2 cups almond flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp Italian herbs

1/4 cup (or more) olive oil

1. Mix all ingredients and spread into a 7” x 9” greased casserole dish, bottom snd up the sides
2. Bake at 180*C for 15 minutes or until lightly golden

Filling (vegetables):

1/2 red onion

150g mushrooms

115g spinach leaves

1. Saute onions in butter till soft
2. Add mushrooms and spinach
3. Put aside till needed

Filling (eggs):

7 eggs

3/4 cup heavy cream

2 dashes salt and pepper

Whisk all ingredients together.

Add vegetables to egg mixture together with 2 cups grated cheddar cheese.

Pour into cooked crust and bake at 180*C for 45-50 minutes

Once you get used to it you can adjust it to your liking. I usually leave the spinach out and add canned flaked tuna instead. And I use maybe 3:1 ratio of milk and cream.

Don’t expect the crust to hold like normal pastry. It is a bit flaky but considering it’s made without flour and butter it holds pretty well and tastes nice. Hope you give it a try and like it 😊
