Ingredients
FOR THE QUICHE BASE:
- 6 large eggs
- ⅔ cup whole milk
- ¼ cup half-and-half
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
- Pinch ground nutmeg optional
- 1 ½ cups mix-ins of choice: See below for suggestions and ingredient notes for a broccoli bacon version if you are a little under or over 1 1/2 cups, that’s OK
- ⅔ cup grated gruyere cheese or swap fontina, sharp cheddar, or smoked mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
FOR THE MIX-INS*:
- cooked crumbled bacon
- Chopped and sautéed broccoli
- caramelized onions
- Cubed leftover ham
- Roasted Vegetables roughly chopped
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray.
- Prepare any mix-ins (see recipe notes for a broccoli bacon version and the blog post above for more suggestions).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, pepper, mustard, and nutmeg.
- Scatter the mix-ins evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture into the dish. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the chives over the top.
- Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until the center is set, about 35 minutes. It should look puffed and golden at the edges, and when a thin, sharp knife is inserted in the center, the center should be cooked through without visible liquid. Let cool a few minutes. Cut into big wedges. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- For the Broccoli Bacon version shown in this post: Chop 4 slices of thick-cut bacon into bite-sized pieces. Cook in a skillet over medium low heat, until the pieces are crisp and the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a towel-lined plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from the skillet. Add 2 cups of small-chopped broccoli florets and 1 small, very thinly sliced red or yellow onion. Sauté until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Use in the quiche as directed.
- TO STORE: Refrigerate quiche in an airtight storage container for up to 3 days.
- TO REHEAT: Rewarm leftovers in a pie dish in the oven at 350 degrees F.
- TO FREEZE: You can freeze a crustless quiche. Wrap the quiche tightly in plastic wrap and freeze in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
