Great, glad to hear you liked it! yeah GF dough can take a little effort to work with – silicone mats are your friend, or I like to roll it out between two sheets of plastic wrap, which makes it easier to roll and then transfer. Your substitutions of kale and leeks sound awesome!

Okay, verdict = AMAZING. I did some tweaking based on ingredients at hand – added some garlic, used kale instead of spinach and leek instead of shallot.

My pan was a little too tall, so the middle never quite firmed up, but my boyfriend and I were too hungry to wait. We ate around the edges and will microwave the squishy middle as leftovers tomorrow to finish it up.

It’s in the oven now! I had to add a few T’s of cold water to the dough before it would come together in a ball, but it pulled together great once I did.

You’re right about gluten-free dough being sticky – man, it was a PITA to roll out! I ended up oiling up my hands and just pressing it out at the end.

I don’t have a springform pan, so I’m just using a corningware… we’ll see how it comes out!

Sorry I do not have a crust recipe without cream cheese yet!
However, while you might have to play around with measurements a bit, I think you could use a beaten egg instead and then increase the GF flour amount (as an egg will make the dough wetter than cream cheese would) – I would try adding around 1/2 cup more of a GF flour to start and then assess, adding a couple tablespoons more at a time until you get a good consistency – it should still be able to be rolled after resting in the fridge for half an hour or so. Good luck!

Do you have a crust recipe that does not require cream cheese? My partner is not only wheat sensitive but lactose intolerant. We just found out.

This looks great! I was always a bit intimidated by cooking quiche, maybe because it looks so chic and elegant, but this recipes looks super easy! I’ll definitely be trying it…
