The Best Quiche
Description
The Best Quiche centers on a classic combination of six large eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk whisked together with salt and black pepper, poured into a prepared pie crust. The mixture is baked at 350°F for 45 to 55 minutes until the center is set and the crust edges are golden brown, shielded with foil if needed. This technique ensures a smooth, custardy interior with a delicate, crisp crust. The recipe allows for pre-cooked add-ins such as browned meats or vegetables to be included without compromising the texture.
The gentle baking temperature and resting time of 15 minutes after baking help the quiche firm up for clean slicing. It can be served as a breakfast, brunch, or light lunch dish. Because of the base ingredients, the quiche offers a creamy and satisfying mouthfeel balanced by a flaky pastry shell. Variations are easy, making it adaptable to seasonal or personal preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust homemade or store-bought
- 6 large egg
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup milk whole
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Prepare your pie crust according to recipe directions or line a pie dish with a store-bought pie crust.
- Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
- (If adding any meats or vegetables make sure to brown or saute them in a skillet before adding them to the egg mixture).
- Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the center is set. If the crust edges begin to brown use a pie shield or foil wrapped around the edge. Let the quiche sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
