Here’s a classic Quiche recipe 🥧—savory, creamy, and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.
Ingredients (1 9-inch quiche)
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère)
- 1 cup cooked fillings (bacon, ham, spinach, mushrooms, or vegetables)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional: ¼ tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C).
- Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
- Prepare filling
- Spread cooked fillings evenly over the pie crust.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Mix custard
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
- Assemble quiche
- Pour custard mixture over the fillings and cheese in the crust.
- Bake
- Bake 35–45 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Tips & Variations
- Vegetarian: use spinach, broccoli, zucchini, or bell peppers as fillings.
- Make ahead: quiche can be baked ahead of time and served warm or at room temperature.
- Mini quiches: bake in muffin tins for individual servings (about 20–25 minutes).
- Flavor boost: add fresh herbs like thyme, chives, or parsley.
I can also give a crustless quiche version or a smoked salmon and dill quiche if you want.
