Author: Dana Carpender
Prep Time: 15
Cook Time: 20
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 1/2 cups shelled almonds
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons water

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Coat a 10″ pie plate with non-stick cooking spray, or grease it well with coconut oil or butter.
With the S-blade in place, put the almonds, Parmesan cheese, and salt in the food processor. Run until everything is about the texture of cornmeal.
Add the coconut oil—no need to melt it—and pulse to cut it in.
Then, with the processor running, drizzle in the water. When a dough ball forms—it’ll take only seconds—turn off the processor.
Turn the dough out into the prepared pie plate, and press it into place, evenly across the bottom and all the way up the sides. It’s worth your time to work to get it nice and uniform.
Bake for 20 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare your quiche filling.

Notes

Goes great with Dana’s Low-Carb Ham, Cheddar, and Broccoli Quiche Recipe.

Eat It Again! How Repetition Rewires Your Taste – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 27

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful. Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.
