Ingredients

Dairy & Eggs

  • 1
    4 large eggs
  • 2
    1 cup cup milk
  • 3
    0.5 cup cup heavy cream
  • 4
    0.5 cup cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar, Gruyere, or Swiss)

Vegetables

  • 1
    1 cup cup chopped vegetables (such as spinach, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers)

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.5 tsp teaspoon salt
  • 2
    0.25 tsp teaspoon black pepper
  • 3
    0.25 tsp teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

Other

  • 1
    1 tbsp tablespoon olive oil or butter for greasing

Directions

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the quiche cooks evenly. Use an oven thermometer to double check the temperature if you have one.

2

Grease Baking Dish

Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar sized baking dish with olive oil or butter. This will prevent the quiche from sticking and make it easier to serve.

3

Whisk Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until well combined. Whisking aerates the mixture, leading to a lighter quiche. Use a fork or whisk, ensuring everything is fully incorporated with no visible streaks of yolk or cream.

Add Seasonings

Add salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using) to the egg mixture and whisk again to distribute the seasonings evenly. Adjust the seasoning to your personal preference.

5

Mix in Fillings

Stir in the shredded cheese and chopped vegetables into the egg mixture. Distribute them evenly throughout the mixture. Choose vegetables you like - make sure they are finely chopped so they cook evenly.

6

Pour into Baking Dish

Pour the egg mixture into the greased baking dish. The mixture should be evenly distributed. If you used a pie dish, leave some space at the top to allow for some expansion during baking.

7

Bake the Quiche

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. Be careful when removing from the oven, the dish will be very hot! Use oven mitts.

8

Cool Before Serving

Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to set fully and makes it easier to serve. The center may slightly deflate as it cools, this is normal.

Recipe Tips

  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk and full-fat heavy cream.
  • You can use any combination of cheese and vegetables you like. Consider pre-cooking vegetables with high moisture content (e.g., mushrooms) to avoid a soggy quiche.
  • If you don’t have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half or additional milk, but the texture will be slightly less rich.
  • Store leftover quiche in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
  • For a more even bake, use a water bath by placing the baking dish in a larger pan and adding hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. This creates a gentle steam environment.
