Almond crust is a versatile and flavorful alternative to traditional pie or tart crusts, often used in both sweet and savory dishes. Made primarily with finely ground almonds, it’s typically combined with ingredients like eggs, butter, and a touch of sweetener or spices, depending on the dish. Originating from cuisines that emphasize nut-based baking, such as Mediterranean or French pastry traditions, almond crusts are naturally gluten-free and rich in healthy fats and nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. It offers a lower-carb option compared to grain-based crusts, making it popular in keto and paleo diets. However, its high calorie and fat content should be considered by those monitoring their intake. Almond crust’s mildly nutty flavor pairs beautifully with fruit fillings, cream-based desserts, or savory quiches, adding a unique depth of flavor and nutritional boost to baked dishes.
