Quiche is my all-time favorite brunch dish! Make it keto-friendly by using a flavorful almond flour crust found in this recipe.
Just add minced fresh garlic and dried thyme to the almond flour dough and press it into a cast-iron skillet.
Fill the quiche with sautéed onions and spinach for extra fiber and nutrients. Bake for about 30-minutes and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
