Ingredients

1 keto pie crust * See notes
5 large eggs room temperature
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup bacon chopped
1/2 cup ham chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1/3 cup green onions sliced

Instructions

To make the crust:

In a small bowl, mix the almond flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and egg until a dough forms. Shape into a ball, wrap, and chill for an hour. Roll chilled dough between parchment sheets to 1/4 inch thick, then press into the dish. Crimp edges and prick the base.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
Add dried beans or pie weights to it before baking, so it doesn’t rise. Also, add tin foil around the edges to prevent burning. Bake for 20 minutes, then let the crust cool completely

For the quiche:

Add the bacon to a pan and cook until crispy. Set aside on paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the heavy cream, ham, bacon, cheese, and green onions. Stir until mixed.
Transfer into the pie crust and add tin foil around the edges to prevent the crust from burning. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until just set in the middle.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes, before slicing and serving.
