  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted

  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut sugar

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 large organic pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten

  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

  • 1/4 cup water, ice cold

  • 3/4 cup cold organic raw unsalted butter, cut into pieces

  • 1 large organic pasture-raised egg + 1 teaspoon water for brushing

FILLING

  • 6 large organic pasture-raised eggs

  • 2 cloves organic garlic, minced

  • 1 1/2 cups organic heavy cream

  • 3/4 cup organic white cheddar cheese, freshly grated

  • 1/4 cup organic gruyere cheese, freshly grated

  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

  • 1 pinch sea salt

  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 1/4 cups organic broccoli florets, chopped

Instructions 

Crust

  1. Add the flour, coconut sugar, and salt to a food processor and pulse just until combined. 

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vinegar and water.

  3. Add the cold butter pieces into the food processor and pulse until small coarse crumbs remain.

  4. Sprinkle the water/egg mixture over the flour and pulse again until the dough comes together.

  5. Remove the dough with your hands and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, roll the dough out and place it in a 9-inch tart pan or (deep dish) pie plate.

FILLING

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Whisk together the eggs, garlic, cream, cheese, salt and peppers. Fold in the broccoli florets. Pour the filling into the crust. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash.

  3. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until golden on top and set in the center. Let cool slightly before serving. This is so good served warm or cold!
