Categories     Savory Pies

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (9 1/2 inch) deep dish pie shells, unbaked and chilled
6 eggs, at room temperature
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (or the lesser known Emmenthal or Cantal cheese) or 2 cups gruyere cheese (or the lesser known Emmenthal or Cantal cheese)
2 cups half-and-half or 2 cups whole milk, gently heated just until warm
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°; prick the crust all over with a fork.
  • Line it with tin foil and weight the bottom with a pile of dried beans, rice, or other weights that will sit flat on the surface.
  • Bake 12 minutes; remove from the oven and carefully remove the weight and foil; turn the oven to 325°.
  • In a bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, cream, and seasonings; beat until well blended.
  • Place the baked crust on a baking sheet; pour the egg mixture into the crust, right to the top.
  • Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the oven; bake 30-40 minutes, until the mixture is set but still moist; it should still jiggle just a little in the middle (cover pie crust edges with foil if getting too brown).
  • Cool on a rack; serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Making a Perfect Cheesy Quiche

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your quiche. Look for fresh, flavorful cheese, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating the eggs will make the quiche tough. Gently whisk the eggs until they are just combined.
  • Blind-bake the crust. Blind-baking the crust will help to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind-bake the crust, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pie crust in a baking dish and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Don't overfill the crust. Overfilling the crust will cause the quiche to overflow and make a mess. Fill the crust no more than two-thirds of the way full.
  • Bake the quiche until it is set. The quiche is done baking when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. The quiche should be slightly puffed and golden brown on top.

Conclusion

Cheesy quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect quiche that will impress your family and friends.
