Ingredients for Chicken and Mushroom Quiche

For the Pastry Crust

  • Almond Flour: 100 g
  • Coconut Flour: 40 g
  • Xanthan Gum: 1 tsp
  • Salt: 1 tsp
  • Rosemary: 2 tbsp
  • Cold Butter: 150 g, cut into small cubes
  • Egg: 1
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: 2 tbsp

For the Filling

  • Eggs: 6
  • Cream: 1/2 cup
  • Shredded Chicken: 3 cups
  • Mushrooms: 1 cup, chopped
  • Thyme: 2 tbsp
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Pastry Crust

  • Combine the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt in a food processor. Pulse briefly to mix.
  • Add the cold butter and rosemary. Pulse until the mixture forms a breadcrumb-like texture.
  • Create a well in the center and add the egg and apple cider vinegar. Gently knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes to firm up.

2. Roll and Pre-Bake the Crust

  • Roll the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Carefully transfer the dough to a greased quiche pan using the back of a rolling pin. Trim off any excess dough around the edges.
  • Pre-bake the crust in a preheated oven at 325°F for 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, garlic, and fresh thyme until well combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked crust.
  • Evenly distribute the shredded chicken and chopped mushrooms over the filling.

4. Bake the Quiche

  • Return the quiche to the oven and bake at 325°F for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and Serve

  • Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors.
