# Instructions:
01 -
Switch on the oven to 325°F. Mix almond flour, salt, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until it turns crumbly. Press this into a 9-inch pie dish, spreading it evenly along the sides and base. Smooth the bottom with a flat-bottomed glass or cup, pinch the edges to shape, and poke holes all over. Toss it in the oven for 10-12 minutes, just until it gets puffed and golden around the edges. Let it cool on the counter.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Keep stirring every now and then for about 15-20 minutes until they're super soft and golden, but not crunchy.

Spread the caramelized onions inside the cooled crust, then sprinkle half of the shredded Gruyére on top. Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then pour this mixture evenly over the onions and cheese. Toss the rest of the cheese on top.

Pop the quiche into the oven at 325°F for 35-40 minutes. You'll know it's done when the middle is set. Let it rest for about 15 minutes, and then cut it into slices to enjoy.
