For a richer flavor, consider roasting the carrots before shredding them. If you don't have pesto on hand, you can substitute with a blend of fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Ensure the carrot crust is firm before adding the filling to prevent a soggy quiche. Feel free to add other vegetables to the broccoli mixture, such as bell peppers or spinach.

06
StepWhile the crust is baking, whisk together the shredded broccoli, eggs, pesto, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt substitute in a bowl until well combined. (5 minutes)

StepOnce the crust is ready, remove it from the oven and carefully pour the broccoli and egg mixture over the carrot crust. (2 minutes)
