Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Turn the loose dough out into a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to even out the bottom of the crust.

Step 3

Crimp the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until slightly puffed and just starting to brown. Remove and let cool while preparing the filling.

Step 4

Scatter the chopped broccoli and cubed cheese over the bottom of the crust.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour over the broccoli and cheese in the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the top with the shredded cheddar and bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the filling is just set in the center. Remove and let cool 15 minutes before serving.
