MINI GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE QUICHE

These little babies are so good and easy to make! Not only are they gluten and dairy-free mini pies but they are great for meals on the go and are filling too. You can add whatever you like to this recipe, (even the kitchen sink) or take ingredients out… Your call.

Preparing the Crust…

The hardest part of this recipe is making the crust for the mini quiche, but don’t skip this step cause this is what makes the mini quiches taste so great. Once you make the dough from Almond Flour and Rice Flour, split into even balls (should make about 16 individual quiches depending on your muffin pan size). Make an even thin layer in each cavity as shown below.

Prepare the filling…

After you line the cavities, bake the crust for 15 minutes or till golden brown. Once you remove the crust from the oven, mix all other ingredients together and then scoop evenly into each muffin cavity. Then bake your quiches for 35 minutes. You might have leftover filling in which you can put in a soufflé ramekin and bake with the others and have a crustless quiche.
