If you're looking for a dinner that is full of nutrients and vegetables and low in carbohydrates, then look no further than this delicious Quiche by Cookie & Kate! Quiches are a staple in our household as they are full of vegetables and protein. They are also a great last minute dinner option because you can often throw in any vegetables you have in the fridge!





This Quiche is made with beautiful Arugula, Cremini mushrooms and goat's cheese (my favourite) with a deliciously crunchy gluten-free thyme and almond meal crust. It is a simple, gourmet recipe which can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Ingredients:


Gluten-free almond meal crust

  • 2 cups almond meal or almond flour (I had better results with almond meal)

  • 3 garlic cloves, pressed or minced

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

  • ⅓ cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon water


Arugula, Cremini mushroom and goat cheese filling

  • 3 cups baby arugula, roughly chopped

  • 1 ½ cups cleaned and sliced Cremini mushrooms

  • Drizzle olive oil

  • 6 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup milk

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled


Method:


  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or 9″ pie pan with olive oil or cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, stir together the almond meal, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour in the olive oil and water and stir until the mixture is thoroughly combined.

  2. Press the dough into your prepared skillet/pan until it is evenly dispersed across the bottom and at least 1 ¼ inch up the sides. Bake until the crust is lightly golden and firm to the touch, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm enough olive oil to lightly coat the pan. Cook the mushrooms with a dash of salt, stirring often, until tender. Toss in the arugula and let it wilt, while stirring, about 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a plate to cool.

  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and red pepper. Stir in the goat cheese and the slightly cooled mushroom and arugula mixture.

  5. Once the crust is done baking, pour in the egg mixture and bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is firm to the touch and cooked through. Let the quiche cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife. Serve immediately.
