Egg Spinach and Zuchhini Quiche with Almond Meal Crust

For the crust -

1/3 cup almond flour

1 medium egg

1 tbsp butter, melted

dash salt

For the filling -

2 eggs, 1.5 cups egg whites

1/2 cups spinach

2/3 cup diced zucchini

2 laughing cow cheese wedges

1/4 tsp salt

Directions – Preheat the oven to 350. Combine all of the crust ingredients in a bowl and mix until homogenous. Grease a round (9 inch?) pie dish with butter. Use a spatula to transfer the crust batter into the pie dish and spread over the bottom. It will be a very thin crust, if you want a thick crust or a crust that can go up the edges of the quiche, increase all of the crust ingredients proportionately. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned. Air bubbles are normal and will flatten out.

While the crust is baking, combine the eggs and salt in a bowl and mix until fluffy. Add in the chopped zucchini, spinach and laughing cow cheeses. Once the crust is lightly browned, remove it from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Increase the oven temp to 375. Pour the filling onto the crust. Top with additional cheese, if desired. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the quiche passes the knife test.
