Here’s a classic quiche recipe—fluffy, savory, and endlessly customizable 🥧🧀🥓
🥧 Basic Quiche
Ingredients (for 1 9-inch quiche)
Crust (optional, you can also make a crustless quiche)
- 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) milk or half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère)
- 1 cup cooked fillings (bacon, ham, sautéed vegetables, spinach, mushrooms, etc.)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using a pie crust, blind-bake for 8–10 minutes to prevent sogginess.
- Prepare filling
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Layer cheese and cooked fillings evenly in the pie crust or baking dish.
- Pour egg mixture over the top.
- Bake
- Bake 35–45 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Cool & serve
- Let quiche cool 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- Avoid watery vegetables—sauté or drain them before adding.
- For a lighter version, use milk instead of cream.
- Crustless quiche is faster and lower-carb—just grease the pan well.
I can also give a classic Quiche Lorraine recipe or a vegetarian spinach and cheese quiche version if you want.
