Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¾ cup arrowroot powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp granulated garlic
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Butternut Squash
- 1 small butternut squash
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Filling
- 5 eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk (I used coconut)
- 1 Tbsp fresh freshly chopped oregano
- 1 Tbsp freshly chopped basil
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- ¼ cup herbed goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9-inch pie or tart pan.
- Combine the almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, garlic and sea salt and mix.
- Add the egg and olive oil and mix until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Press the dough in to the tart pan and bake for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven.
- Cut the neck of the butternut squash off and peel off the outer layer. Slice the butternut into ¼ inch rings (I prefer a mandolin for this). You will need about 20-25 slices.
- Place the squash on a baking sheet and drizzle on the oil and sprinkle with salt and roast for about 15 minutes and then remove from the oven.
- While the butternut is cooking combine the eggs, milk, oregano, basil, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Layer the cooked butternut on the crust and then add the goat cheese and chopped kale. Pour the egg mixture on top and then bake for 20-25.
- Let set for about 5 minutes and then eat while hot or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- The quiche reheats really well and is also good at room temperature.
- Crust can be made ahead of time. Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight
- If you decide to us a tart pan make sure that it is deep enough to hold all the filling.
