INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • We have to utilize finely ground almond flour because it will provide structure and a tender texture to the keto crust. As a substitute, you can use sunflower seed flour.

BUTTER:

  • We utilize butter because it will add richness and help the crust become golden.

EGGS:

  • Eggs will provide structure and create a creamy, firm quiche filling. No keto substitution is necessary.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • Heavy cream will provide a rich and smooth texture. As a substitute, you can use unsweetened full-fat coconut cream.

HAM:

  • We utilize sugar-free cooked ham because it will provide protein and savory flavor. As a replacement, you can use cooked bacon, turkey, or sausage.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • Cheddar will provide a rich, cheesy flavor and smooth texture. You can substitute mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Swiss cheese.

PARMESAN:

  • Parmesan will add extra savory flavor to the filling. As a substitute, you can use Romano cheese.

DIJON MUSTARD:

  • Dijon mustard will provide a mild tangy flavor and extra depth. Use a no-sugar-added variety to keep the quiche keto-friendly.

PARSLEY:

  • Parsley will provide freshness and color. As an alternative, you can use fresh chives or Italian herbs.
