Quiche Recipe
This delightful quiche features a buttery crust filled with creamy custard, fresh vegetables, and savory cheeses.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Gruyère)
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (such as spinach, onions, or bell peppers)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as thyme or parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess edges. Poke a few holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up while baking.
- Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until it just starts to turn golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until combined and smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Once done, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for around 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling firm up a bit more.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade quiche!
