Cheese & onion pie with almond flour

[monday1957]

The pastry couldn't be any easier: mix 2 cups of almond flour/ground almonds with 1 egg and pinch of sea salt. Mix and roll out. It'll be quite crumbly, but fit into a quiche dish or smaller dish if you want a pie. Slowly fry 3 sliced onions so they're caramelised. When cool, stir into 2 beaten eggs and handful of cheddar cheese. Bake the pastry base for about 12 mins, then pour mixture in and bake for about 25 mins on 200c.

Ha! I’m a bit naughty with the pic as after I’d taken it (and eaten that wedge of pie), I went straight back for seconds 🐖

Oh Wow, I think even I could attempt that one, thanks for sharing! x

The pastry is so easy.

Plus it’s what I use if I want to make keto bics. I just cut circles with pastry cutters & bake for 12 mins in medium oven 🧇

Very interesting. I didn't know you could get almond flour. Mixed with egg it sounds a bit like unsweetened marzipan.

Hiya

The almond flour is finer than ground almonds and either are good. The taste is vaguely nutty but not overwhelmingly so.

Thanks for that
