Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the quiche will be. Use fresh eggs, heavy cream, and real Roquefort or blue cheese. If you can, use homemade pie crust instead of store-bought.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the quiche tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the quiche until it is set. The quiche is done when the center is no longer jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let the quiche cool before serving. This will help the quiche to set and make it easier to slice.
Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature. Quiche can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great dish to make ahead of time and reheat later.

Conclusion:

Roquefort or blue cheese quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you are a fan of Roquefort or blue cheese, you are sure to enjoy this quiche.
