Ingredients
Fathead Crust
- 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella
- 1 Cup Almond Meal or Almond Flour
- 1/2 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Egg
Filling
- 10 Pieces Green Asparagus (8 for topping, 2 for filling)
- 6 Eggs
- 200 grams Yogurt
- Parsley (to taste)
- 1 Camembert Cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Fathead Dough: Heat a pot on medium heat. Add shredded mozzarella and let it completely melt, stirring occasionally with a spatula to prevent sticking.
- Add Almond Flour and Garlic Powder: Once the mozzarella has melted fully, add almond meal and garlic powder. Knead the mixture with the spatula until thoroughly combined into a dough.
- Incorporate Egg: Turn off the heat and add the egg to the dough. Continue kneading with the spatula to incorporate the egg fully and form a cohesive dough.
- Make Filling Mixture: In a bowl, combine 6 eggs, 200 grams of yogurt, and parsley using a hand mixer until smooth and well blended.
- Add Asparagus to Filling: Chop 2 pieces of green asparagus and mix them into the egg and yogurt filling with a spatula.
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 190°C (370°F) in preparation for baking the quiche.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly oil a 10-inch quiche casserole dish to prevent sticking.
- Shape Crust: Spread the fathead dough evenly throughout the casserole dish and up the sides using oiled hands or the base of a small oiled mason jar.
- Poke Holes: Use a fork to make small holes throughout the crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Add Filling: Pour the prepared filling mixture into the crust evenly.
- Top with Asparagus and Cheese: Cut the remaining 8 asparagus pieces in half and arrange them on top of the filling. Tear the Camembert cheese into pieces and distribute evenly over the asparagus and filling.
- Bake: Place the assembled quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
Notes
- You can substitute almond meal with almond flour if preferred.
- Ensure the mozzarella is shredded finely for easier melting.
- Use full-fat yogurt for best texture and flavor.
- Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Parsley can be adjusted to taste or substituted with other herbs like chives or dill.
