# Ingredients:
→ Crust
01 -
1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
→ Filling
02 -
6 large eggs
03 -
1 cup heavy cream
04 -
1 cup whole milk
05 -
1 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, or a blend)
06 -
6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
07 -
½ cup diced ham (optional)
08 -
½ cup sautéed spinach (squeeze out extra moisture)
09 -
½ cup caramelized onion
10 -
Salt and black pepper, to taste
11 -
Pinch of nutmeg
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch quiche or pie dish. Trim and press the edges, then prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.
02 -
Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove and set aside. This step keeps your crust crisp and prevents sogginess.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in your cheese and any optional fillings like bacon, ham, spinach, or onions.
04 -
Pour the custard mixture into your pre-baked crust. Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
05 -
Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
