Gluten-Free Artichoke and Veggie Quiche with Sauerkraut

As the weather gets cooler the brunch food gets even better. This is a fact of life. We get things like cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pancakes, and creamy, flavorful egg dishes that make you warm and happy inside. Don’t get me wrong, I love a summery pancake with blueberries, but there’s nothing like a full belly from a good fall or winter weekend brunch. The older I get the more I really appreciate a savory brunch: benedicts, chilaquiles, quiches, etc. I’m finding I can really do without the sugar crash and there’s nothing like a good bacon and egg combo to start the day. Plus, these things are easy to make for a crowd, so they’re perfect if you’re having brunch with the fam. So today we’re making a veggie quiche that is loaded with that savory umami flavor–AND it’s gluten and dairy-free!  

What is a quiche?

I’m adding this in here because two years ago I was the person who didn’t know what a quiche was. My family NEVER made one, so how was I to know? Basically it’s an egg bake in a pie crust, or, in this case, an egg and veggie bake in a grain-free crust. I also have several frittata recipes on the site, which are basically crustless quiches. If you’d rather go that route you can follow the directions for the frittata but use the same ingredients from this recipe. You’ll want to bake your frittata in a skillet instead of a pie dish, though.

Gluten-Free Quiche Crust

I made the quiche for this recipe grain and gluten-free so it’s easy for everyone to enjoy together regardless of dietary concerns. It’s made of cassava flour with a touch of coconut flour (it helps to bind the crust) and then just 1 egg, coconut oil, and water. You can lightly roll out the dough on some parchment paper and then finish molding it into the correct shape once it’s in the pie pan. You’ll want to pre-bake the crust for a few minutes to prevent any sogginess in the bottom, but otherwise, this is just like your standard quiche crust!

Sauerkraut Quiche

We’ve talked before about how I believe Sauerkraut is the hero of lunch, but I’m here to tell you that it’s also the hero of brunch. It adds the perfect amount of zest and crunch to this quiche and provides a punch of flavor without requiring a boatload of ingredients. I’ve found myself eating sauerkraut with just some scrambled eggs on their own because I love the combo so much! I recommend keeping a jar of sauerkraut on hand at all times so you can whip up a tasty brunch wherever the craving hits. I used my go-to Sauerkraut from Bubbies  in this recipe. It’s naturally fermented (aka gut-friendly) and it’s made with three simple ingredients: cabbage, water, and salt. I love an ingredient label that I can read in a matter of seconds! Bubbie’s sauerkraut is a testament to the fact that simplicity can be utterly delicious. In this case, it’s the perfect salty, crunchy addition to the creamy eggs and flaky crust.  Some things are simply meant to be and the egg/sauerkraut combo is one of them. And if you’re looking for other ways to spice up your brunch,  Bubbies has a Spicy Sauerkraut that I’m also a huge fan of!
