Hi
@maglil55. I am very happy to share my recipe with you.
To be honest, though, there is really no recipe and I tend to make it up as I go along.
Ingredients:
For the filling
- about 3 red beets.
- about three red onions.
- about 100g of smoked duck breast or similar
- about 50g of pecans
- one package of fresh sage
For the crust:
- about 1 heaping tablespoon of psyllium husk
- about 3 heaping tablespoons of almond flour
- some baking soda
- a bit of salt, ground caraway seeds and coriander seeds
- boiling water
For the egg mixture:
5 eggs
200 ml of whipping cream
200g of cream cheese
Some salt
Spices and grated cheese to taste.
Toppings:
Some soft cheese such as camenbert, gorgonzola, roquefort or feta (based on your preference)
Preparation:
- I start with peeling and slicing the red beets and then mix them with some salt, a bit of xylitol to enhance the taste, and olive oil. You could also add some spices.
- Put the beet slices on some baking paper and roast them at a low heat (to concentrate the flavor and to keep the quiche from getting soggy).
- Fry some red onions with ghee or olive oil, a bit a balsamic vinegar, salt, a bit of xylitol, and black pepper.
- Fry some sage in butter.
- Break some pecan nuts into smaller pieces (or walnuts if you prefer).
- For the crust, I use the diet doctor keto bread recipe and just use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into form. (I am sure you could do without the crust also)
- Prebake the crust for about 15 minute at 180 degrees centigrade.
- Mix about five eggs with cream cheese and whipping cream. Add salt and spices to taste. Mix in some other shredded cheese, the type will probably depend on the other ingredients and whatever leftovers you have in the fridge.
- Take the crust, layer the red beets, smoked duck breast (or ham or chicken or whatever you like), pecans, red onions. Top with sage leaves.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layers.
- Add some some sliced soft cheese such as camenbert on top.
- Bake until ready. I stick a tooth pick in the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
Hope this makes sense and it's not too confusing. It should come out to about 3 percent of carbs.
