Fluffy Spinach, Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Quiche With Gruyere image

In my quest to find out what makes a quiche fluffy, I've cobbled together this recipe. And it makes a great tasting quiche with a beautiful presentation. The key (surprisingly) is not to overbeat the eggs, not to use too hot of an oven, and don't overdue the liquids.

Yield 6 slices, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

9 inches baked pie crusts
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 ounces gruyere cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon baking powder
4 ounces roasted red peppers, chopped
10 ounces fresh spinach (may use frozen if squeezed really dry)

Steps:

  • Blind bake your pie crust and let it cool.
  • When crust is cool, spread Dijon mustard on bottom of the crust. Top with grated gruyere.
  • Carmelize onions in olive oil. Add thyme, salt and pepper. Set aside. Spread onions on top of cheese layer.
  • Chop fresh spinach and cook in frying pan with chopped roasted red peppers until wilted and starting to dry, set aside.
  • Wisk together eggs, yogurt and baking powder. (Don't use a mixer.).
  • Add spinach and roasted red peppers to egg mixture and pour over cheese layer.
  • If you're feeling creative, decorate the top with some red pepper strips.

The quiche was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or cream next time. Otherwise, the flavors were good.

The quiche was good, but I found the filling to be a bit bland. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great. I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and it still came out perfect. The filling was flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of quiche, but this one changed my mind. The roasted red peppers added a delicious smoky flavor. I also liked the addition of Gruyère cheese, which gave the quiche a rich and creamy texture.

This quiche was a hit at my brunch party! The flavors of the spinach, onion, roasted red pepper, and Gruyère cheese were perfectly balanced. The crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
