Quiche question

[VioletViolet]

Has anyone tried making one of those "fathead" type pastry? Just wondered if it tastes like real pastry.

PS I confess I ate the crust yesterday, I thought I would be OK with a quarter at 17g of carbs.

I haven't made the fathead base - I think it's more like a pizza base than a crust base.
I did make low carb quiches using @ewelina 's recipe for a low carb tart crust which can be used for sweet or savoury fillings (for sweet base use sweetener instead of salt).
It's quite easy to make:

I made @ewelina 's bacon & leek quiche with it which was really nice (can be frozen too). But you can use any fillings you prefer.

Thanks (again! ) That's my kind of ingredients list too. Why have I never come across @ewelina ?? Where have I been???

Using just almond flour makes the crust taste a little sweet (to my taste anyway). I used 50% soya flour the second time I made the quiche which made it less 'almondy'.

@ewelina is a T1 member of the forum. Her www.diabeticgoodbaking.com site has some good recipes - I like the peanut butter cookies which are easy to make.But she hasn't posted on forum for over a year.
