Broccoli and Stilton Quiche

I made this yesterday for Ronan's Aunty Breda. My brother and his wife were convinced that the crust would taste of marzipan but there is absolutely no almond taste at all!

Ingredients

Crust:
4 tbsp coconut oil, melted
180g ground almonds
75g gluten-free oat flour (if you can't find oat flour, grind gluten-free porridge oats in a food processor)
1/2 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2-3 tbsp cold water

Filling:
7 eggs
150g blue cheese (I used Aldi's Tipperary Blue), cubed
Small head of broccoli

60g grated cheddar cheese, grated
200ml milk
Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C
  2. Lightly grease 27cm quiche dish with some coconut oil
  3. Combine dry crust ingredients in a large bowl
  4. Add melted coconut oil and mix well
  5. Slowly add water until you are able to form a ball out of the mixture with your hands
  6. Place the dough ball into your quiche dish and gently press out towards the sides (and up the sides) until evenly covered
  7. Bake the crust for 15 minutes
  8. Chop the broccoli into small florets and parboil the 5 minutes
  9. Remove the crust from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes
  10. Beat the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper
  11. Distribute the broccoli, blue cheese and half the cheddar evenly around the crust
  12. Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the cheddar
  13. Bake for 30 minutes or until top has turned golden and eggs have set
  14. Serve with a green salad
