I <3 quiche lorraine! This French delicacy is an irresistible combination of eggs, cheese and smoky bacon all wrapped up in a buttery crust. But can we low FODMAPers eat quiche? Well… not the original wheat pastry crust filled with cream recipe, so this is why I came up with a low FODMAP and simply delicious quiche!!! Cannot wait to share the recipe with you!

I´ve been craving for quiche for a long time but after some failed attempts, I was discouraged and overwhelmed… A tasty low FODMAP friendly quiche from scratch seemed impossible to make.

First problem was the gluten free crust… After a lot of crumbly useless dough I finally understood that I had to use the same principle as when baking bread – 2 parts gluten free flour, one part starch (you can also use a good GF flour mix)+ vinegar to improve texture and it worked! I was able to make a pretty decent ball of dough and the final result was a firm yet tender pie crust.

Second problem was that the cream free filling created a too eggy or too liquid custard. I solved the issue by adding some greek yogurt to the mix of lactose free milk, low FODMAP cheese and a couple of eggs.

Please note that for this recipe I used greek yogurt, hard cheese and butter which are naturally low in lactose. If you prefer, you can use clarified butter (ghee), lactose free greek yogurt and cheese.

Servings: 3
Author: My Gut Feeling

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1/2 cup | 70g rice flour
  • 1/2 cup | 70g millet flour
  • 1/2 cup | 75g tapioca starch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 4-6 tbsp water

For the filling

  • 3,5 oz | 100 g bacon finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup | 140ml lactose free milk
  • 1,4 oz | 40 g swiss cheese gruyère, diced or grated
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • Little pinch of salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • For the crust, place flours, starch, butter and salt in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub ingredients together until pea-size crumbles form. Add the vinegar and one tablespoon of water at a time and knead until dough forms. Consistency should be elastic and smooth, so add more water if needed. Form the dough into a ball and chill until you've completed steps 2 and 3.
  • Add the chopped bacon to a non-stick pan and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes or until crispy. Set aside to cool.
  • In a bowl whisk the eggs, greek yogurt and milk. Add in the cheese, nutmeg, salt, pepper and finally the cooled bacon.
  • In one big or 3 small tart pans, transfer the dough to the center of the pan and press with your fingers out to the edges of the pan, then up the sides until it resembles a crust. Pinch an attractive lip around the edge of the pan and prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork. Fill in with the liquid mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 350ºF/ 180ºC and bake for 50 minutes. Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy hot or cold with a green salad and… bon appétit!

    What beautiful photos! Quiche is something I’ve really missed since going low-FODMAP–I agree, the crust is really tricky. I wonder if these would freeze? I always love to have single-serve meals in the freezer.

      Thank you Joyce. I would say it is like the “normal” quiche: you can freeze it before or after baking and it lasts up to
      one month.
