Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 5 tablespoons Butter (unsalted, cold, diced)
• 1 piece Egg (large, for the crust)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 6 cups Fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Eggs (large, for the filling)
• 0.75 cups Milk (or gluten-free alternative like almond milk)
• 0.75 cups Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg (optional, for a hint of warmth)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Beat 1 egg in a separate bowl and add it to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly. Prick the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

While the crust is baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, milk, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth.

Step 7

Spread the cooked spinach evenly over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the spinach.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and feta, ensuring it fills the crust evenly.

Step 9

Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
