- Frozen gluten-free pie crust - you can use any brand that you like.
- Eggs - I recommend using large eggs and room temperature eggs.
- Coconut milk - to help the eggs become light and fluffy. If you are not dairy-free, you can use milk or cream instead. I recommend using full fat coconut milk rather than low fat coconut milk.
- Asparagus and green onions - the fresher the better.
- Smoked salmon - to add protein to this quiche.
- Capers - capers and smoked salmon go so well together.
- Seasonings and spices - salt and pepper.
Recipe variations and add ins:
- If you don't like smoked salmon feel free to swap it for another protein such as ham, sausage, cooked bacon, chicken, or turkey.
- Change up the vegetables: spinach, broccoli, red pepper, and white or yellow onion would all be great in this gluten-free quiche.
- To add more flavour: add some sliced black olives or even a few sun-dried tomatoes to this gluten-free quiche recipe.
- Feel free to add 1/4 cup of dairy free or regular shredded cheese to the egg mixture if desired. Both cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese would work.
How to make gluten-free quiche:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let the frozen pie crust thaw on the counter for 10-15 minutes.
- Step 2: In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, salt and pepper, and the capers if you are using them. Then set the bowl aside.
- Step 3: In a large frying pan or large skillet over medium heat, melt the coconut oil, then add the chopped green onion and fry for a couple of minutes until it's tender. Then add the chopped asparagus and cook for 5 minutes or until the asparagus is the texture you prefer.
- Step 4: Next, add in the smoked salmon to the pan and cook for 1 - 2 minutes, to warm the salmon.
- Step 5: Transfer the cooked green onion, asparagus, and smoked salmon to the pie crust and spread it out evenly.
- Step 6: Pour the egg mixture over top of the salmon and veggies and bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the crust is golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes, then cut it into your desired sized pieces and enjoy!
Top Tips:
- If you are serving a crowd feel free to double this gluten-free quiche recipe and make two quiches.
- You can either cook the quiche in the aluminum pie plate it comes in or transfer it to your own pie dish.
- Put the pie crust on a baking sheet before putting it into the oven to make it easier to handle and clean in case there is any spillage.
- Keep an eye on the pie crust when it's cooking - if it starts to get too browned, cover the quiche with foil or parchment paper.
- Storage: store any leftover gluten-free quiche in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- I don't recommend trying to freeze quiche because the cooked eggs get a weird texture when you thaw them.
