Low Carb Pie Shell

My co-worker Lori inspired me to make Quiche for dinner. Even though Quiche is a Recipe I have covered before, I needed to change the shell to fit into a low-carb eating plan. This shell  has about 2 grams of Carbohydrate per serving (1 shell serves eight). 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup shredded Unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 eggs
1 tsp sea salt

Mix ingredients, it should form a soft dough, if it is too loose add a little more flour.





Mix dough by hand for about 1 minute until a ball is formed. You are going to roll the dough out. It is easiest to do this between two sheets of waxed paper. I didn't have waxed paper so I used plastic wrap. Wrap a cutting board  with the plastic wrap, put the ball on top and cover with another piece of plastic wrap.

Roll out the dough between the two sheets of waxed paper (or plastic wrap).  Then you need to flip it onto the pie dish and peel off the plastic wrap. Be careful because the shell might crack and fall apart.








Fit the shell into the pie plate, press out any cracks and replace any pieces that may have fallen off. Smooth out the shell into dish.

Now you can follow the quiche recipe. DO NOT PRE-BAKE THIS SHELL. Coconut flour cooks a whole lot faster than wheat flour. Bake in the center of the oven and cover the filled shell with aluminum foil to protect against burning.
