Ingredients

Basic Quiche Base

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust homemade or store bought
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese gruyere, mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, or feta

Add Ins

  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 1/2 cup diced ham
  • 1/2 cup sautéed diced shallot or onion or onion

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Unroll pie crust into a 12-inch circle and gently transfer into a 9 inch pie plate. Roll and pinch or crimp the edges of your crust. Use a fork to prick holes into the bottom of the crust. Place parchment paper on top of the pie crust to create a bowl.
  • Fill with pie weights or dried, uncooked beans. This will prevent the pie crust from sliding or bubbling. Bake in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes to par bake. Remove from oven and let sit until ready to fill. Once pie crust is par baked, lower the temperature of the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in desired cheese.
  • Place prepared add-ins into the bottom of the par-baked pie crust. Pour egg mixture over the top.
  • Bake quiche in a pre-heated 350℉ oven for 40-45 minutes until center is set.
