HOW TO MAKE KETO MEDITERRANEAN ONE-CRUST PIE?
KETO AROMATIC CRISPY SAVORY CRUST
This keto savory crust is aromatic and crispy. It's really easy to make, especially if you have a microwave. Just combine shredded mozzarella with a pinch of salt, 1 TBS of cream cheese, baking powder, almond flour and Mediterranean herbs like oregano and basil. Optionally you can add a pinch of garlic and chili flakes or powdered paprika. Stir everything and microwave for 45 seconds, take it out from the microwave, stir until all well combined and microwave for another 30 seconds.
After microwaving stir with the spoon until all the ingredients are evenly combined, knead until keto dough is formed. If it's not possible to knead, microwave for 30 to 45 seconds more.
Press the dough into the greased 25 cm/10 inch diameter pie dish and form the pie shell.
KETO VEGETABLE PIE FILLING
This low carb vegetable pie filling is so flavorful, tasty and aromatic! It's fantastic for all on keto vegetarian lifestyle but trust me, even carnivores will love it! Fresh vegetable grilled on a pan, combined with Mediterranean herbs are irresistible.
So, how to prepare it? Heat 1 or 2 TBS of olive oil on a pan and add chopped onion and cook util onion is golden brown and caramelized. When onion is caramelized add chopped eggplant, stir for 2 - 3 minutes, add red bell pepper chopped, stir for 2-3 minutes, and at the end add zucchini cut in small cubes, black olives, salt, pepper, minced garlic clove and herbs. Stir everything, add crushed tomatoes, 1 TBS of balsamic vinegar and 1 egg.
Bake the pie in a preheated oven on 180 C for 15 - 20 minutes or until it's golden brown on the edges.
SERVING KETO VEGETABLE PIE
I love serving this pie with fresh arugula/rocket and chunks of fresh goat cheese or feta cheese on top. And, of course, drizzle with some good extra virgin olive oil. It will be delicious!
You may serve it as a delicious and aromatic keto starter, as a keto snack to enjoy it with a glass of dry red vine, or as a lunch or dinner. However, you will enjoy this Mediterranean flavor.
