Broccoli Quiche with Carrot Crust

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Broccoli Quiche with Carrot Crust.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C) to create the perfect environment for your quiche.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab your blender and toss in the shredded carrots, canola oil, diced onion, a sprinkle of salt substitute, and a dash of ground black pepper.

3. Step 3

   Blend these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture that smells delightful.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together some cold water and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.

5. Step 5

   Once that’s done, add this mixture to your carrot blend and give it another whirl in the blender until everything is well combined and smooth.

6. Step 6

   Now, pour this vibrant carrot mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish, pressing it down gently to form a lovely crust shape.

7. Step 7

   Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is dry and firm to the touch.

8. Step 8

   While that’s baking, take a moment to whisk together the broccoli, eggs, pesto, and the remaining salt substitute in a bowl until it’s all smooth and well blended.

9. Step 9

   Once your carrot crust is ready, pour this delicious broccoli mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.
