Ingredients:

For 4–6 Servings:

For the Crust (optional for keto-friendly version, can skip for crustless quiche):

1. 1 ½ cups almond flour
2. ¼ cup melted butter
3. 1 egg
4. Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

1. 4 oz smoked salmon, chopped
2. 1 cup steamed or lightly sautéed broccoli florets
3. 4 large eggs
4. ¾ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
5. 1 cup shredded Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese
6. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or chives
7. Salt and pepper to taste
8. Pinch of garlic powder or onion powder (optional)

Optional Add-Ins & Variations:

1. ¼ cup sautéed onions or leeks for extra sweetness
2. A sprinkle of feta or goat cheese on top
3. Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for more veggies
4. Top with avocado slices or arugula after baking for freshness

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Crust (Optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix almond flour, melted butter, egg, and salt in a bowl. Press mixture into a greased 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and seasonings. Stir in cheese, broccoli, and chopped smoked salmon. Add dill or chives.

Step 3: Assemble the Quiche

Pour the filling mixture into the prepared crust (or directly into a greased pie dish for crustless version).

Step 4: Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and slightly golden on top. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 5: Rest & Serve

Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, at room temperature, or even chilled.

Optional Variations:

• Crustless Version: Skip the crust for a lower-carb, gluten-free option.
