One of your favorite French foods just got healthier! This quiche is every bit as delicious as traditional quiche Lorraine with an easy-to-make, nutrient dense, chickpea flour pie crust. JUMP TO RECIPE

Quiche Lorraine is a recipe I made on are regular basis when I first started cooking because it was easy and I could remember it without having to reference a cookbook or recipe card. This was way before the internet and way before I had amassed any serious cooking equipment. In my tiny studio apartment, all I had was one mixing bowl, some very basic utensils, and an old gas oven, but with a frozen pie crust and a few simple ingredients I turned out quiche after quiche. My trick for remembering how to make it was simple – I recalled the number 3. The quiche custard consisted of 3 main ingredients: eggs, light cream, and cheese. As for how much of each of these ingredients, again, the number 3 helped me remember that the recipe called for 3 eggs, 3 half cups (1½ cups) of light cream, and 3 half cups (1½ cups) of cheese. After that, it was just a matter throwing in some meats or veggies and seasonings. To this day, there are very few dishes as delicious as this one that I can remember by heart which is why I thought it was high time for me to do a blog post. This recipe for Classic Quiche with a Chickpea Flour Crust is the updated version of my old favorite and replaces a store-bought, frozen pie crust with a delicious, gluten-free crust made from chickpea flour, also known as garbanzo flour or gram flour. It requires more effort to make than using a frozen crust (and might require you to actually refer to the recipe) but it’s much healthier and pairs amazingly well with the savory flavors in the quiche custard.
