Broccoli Cheddar Keto Quiche is the ultimate low-carb comfort food—rich, cheesy, and satisfying with only 5g net carbs per slice. Baked in a buttery almond flour crust and packed with tender broccoli and creamy egg custard, this gluten-free quiche is perfect for keto brunches, make-ahead meals, or freezer-friendly prep. A foolproof, protein-rich dish that fits any low-carb lifestyle.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups blanched almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 ½ cups frozen broccoli, thawed and chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (½ cup cubed, ½ cup shredded)
  • 5 large eggs
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (or ½ tsp garlic powder)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a bowl, mix almond flour, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie pan, forming an even base and pressing up the sides.
  2. Par-Bake the Crust: Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake at 325ºF for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Cool slightly.
  3. Add Broccoli and Cheese: Spread chopped broccoli and cubed cheddar evenly over the crust.
  4. Make the Custard: Whisk eggs, heavy cream, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour over broccoli and cheese.
  5. Bake the Quiche: Top with shredded cheddar and bake at 325ºF for 35–40 minutes until center is just set. Cool for 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Swap almond flour with sunflower seed flour for nut-free option.
  • Use sharp cheddar for the most flavor; avoid pre-shredded cheese.
  • Steam fresh broccoli if using instead of frozen.
  • For crustless version, grease pan well and bake filling directly.
