I froze the crust for 10 minutes…there was no dozing involved.
Cool, so glad you worked for you Jackie, thanks for your comment.
can i use this for the top also?
Hi Paige, probably not as it wouldn’t act like pastry it would most likely crack and crumble.
This is the best pie crust! It is delicious. I did it all in the food processor and you can’t get anything easier. I made an asparagus ricotta tart with it. Now I need to find other savory pies so I can use this crust. Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Jessica! Asparagus and Ricotta tart sounds delicious!
Can I use medium-fine ground almonds, instead of fine almond flour?
Sure, we have used almond meal to make the crust with no issues. The texture is just a bit rougher.
I would like to make pumpkin pie. Do I bake this crust before filling it with my pumpkin filling? I’m wondering because pumpkin takes a while to bake and if I bake it before and then again after filling it won’t it burn?
Hi Linda,
The crust does need to be baked before any filling is added. I do hope that you are making a savory pumpkin pie, as I don’t think a sweet filling will go very well with the parmesan crust.
If the crust starts too brown too much, just cover it with a ring of foil.
I used it as a crumb topping to a crustless pot pie, rather than a bottom crust. Worked great!
Sounds reat Lauren, just about to make a beef and onion pie…x
If I could give this recipe 10 stars I would!! It’s delicious and so easy. I wanted to make it for a quiche and was concerned that if it was pre-cooked it might burn during the baking of the quiche but it turned out perfectly. My daughter is doing keto for her health and she and friends who aren’t on keto thought it was sooo delicious. I will try it with pizza toppings as well so she can have pizza. The parmesan cheese makes it extra tasty.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Mary Beth! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I forgot to ⭐️ this! It’s definite 5!
This is a fantastic recipe and a must-have in a keto kitchen. It was fall-over-yourself easy and delish and held up well during serving.
I took it with a savory filling to a Pi Day party and everyone loved it, including all the dads/husbands who dislike “diet food.”
I am so delighted!
Hi
Do I need to pre-bake this if I am making a quiche in the crust?
Hi Kim,
I recommend pre-baking the crust before adding any type of filling.
