Equipment
- 9 inch pie dish
Ingredients
Pie Crust
- 2 cups almond flour 200g
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg large, beaten
- 2 tablespoon butter room temperature or melted
Filling
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion halved and thinly sliced (60g)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 cups broccoli 400g, chopped small
- 4 eggs large
- ⅓ cup heavy cream 80ml
- ½ cup almond milk 120ml
- ½ cup grated cheddar 60g
- ½ cup grated gruyere cheese 50g
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves finely chopped
Instructions
ALMOND FLOUR CRUST
- Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) electric or 320F (160C) fan. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish with parchment paper and grease the sides really well with butter.
- Place the almond flour and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly. Add the butter and egg and pulse until the mixture forms a ball. Alternatively, stir together with a fork, then knead.
- Press the dough into the pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork multiple times so it does not bubble up.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until slightly golden, then let cool.
FILLING
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil for 2 minutes. Add broccoli and sauté a further 3 - 4 minutes until al-dente. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, cream, almond milk, cheeses, Dijon mustard, pepper, salt and thyme. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- Once the broccoli has cooled, add to the egg mix and stir to combine.
ASSEMBLY
- Turn the oven up to 400F electric (200C) or 350F fan (180C).
- Pour the filling into the pastry and bake for 35 - 45 minutes until set. If the crust starts to brown a bit too much, loosely cover with a ring of aluminium foil.
- Allow to cool to firm up. Remove from the pie dish and slice.
