Notes
- To create a flaky pie crust texture, use a pastry cutter or fork to mix the butter into the almond flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add diced mushrooms or frozen peas for a heartier filling.
- Brush the pie crust with an egg wash to achieve a beautifully golden, glossy finish.
- Top the pie with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese before baking to create a rich, golden, and irresistibly cheesy crust.
- Slowly add the xanthan gum to the heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid clumping.
- Save time by using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
- Create a bottom pie crust by pressing the almond flour mixture into a greased pie dish before adding the filling.
- Skip store-bought pie crusts, which often contain excess carbs and artificial preservatives.
