Low Carb Savory Pie Crust

I made this pie crust recently for a brunch. I used two round 9” baking dishes. One I did a full crust (with sides) the other I did a partial (full bottom, slight raised edges). My recipes won’t be super detailed because I cook on the fly and use what I have. This is my attempt at documenting more of the madness.

WHAT // INGREDIENTS

  • 3.5 Cups Almond Flour (Blanched)
  • ½ Cup Nutritional Yeast
  • ½ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
  • ½ tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ¼ Cup Cooking oil of choice (I used MCT oil this time)

HOW // INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Prepare two 9” glass baking dishes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix well to combine & evenly distribute.
  3. Crack eggs into separate bowl and scramble.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the dry ingredients, add oil. Using a fork, mix well to combine. Dough will be crumbly.
  5. Using your hands, press the dough into the glass baking dishes. You can make a full crust or do bottom only – the choice is yours.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden.
  7. You can fill it and then bake it, or refrigerate/freeze the crust for future use. (Use within 3 days if refrigerated).
