Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, melted butter, egg, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan, forming an even layer.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Prepare the Filling:
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
- Stir in shredded cheese, chopped ham or Canadian bacon, spinach (if using), thyme, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the filling mixture into the pre-baked crust, spreading it out evenly.
4. Bake the Quiche:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
