Quiche Recipe
This quiche is rich and flavorful, making it perfect for any occasion. It’s also incredibly versatile, allowing you to customize it with your favorite ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
- 1/2 cup diced ham or cooked bacon (optional)
- 1 cup chopped spinach or mixed vegetables
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Pre-bake the crust for about 8 minutes or until it's lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using.
- Layer your choice of fillings over the pre-baked crust: first the cheese, then ham or bacon if desired, followed by the vegetables.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
- Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
This quiche is not just delicious but also a great way to use up any leftover vegetables or meats you might have. Feel free to experiment with different flavors and ingredients to make it your own. Enjoy your cooking, and savor every bite of your homemade quiche!
