Number Of Ingredients 6

FOR ONE 8 OR 9 INCH QUICHE
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon, salt
pinch or two of pepper
heavy/whipping cream as needed ( about 1/2 cup)
One 8-or9-inche Baked Pie Crust Shell

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a 2 cup measuring cup, place the eggs and seasonings. Add enough cream to fill the measuring cup to the 1-1/4 cup level ( you'll need about 1/2 cup of cream). Blend together the cream and eggs mixture using a fork or whisk- just to incorporate thoroughly. Sprinkle the filling of your choice over the bottom of one 8-inch or 9-inch baked pie shell. Pour in the custard mixture ( the liquid should come up to about 1/4 -inch from the rim of the pie crust shell). Bake the quiche at 375 degrees for about 35 minutes or until the thin blade of a knife, inserted near the middle of the quiche (about an inch or so out) comes out clean. Cook's Note: The center should still be a little bit "jiggly" - the custard will complete cooking as it stands after baking. Suggested Fillings: 5-6 slices crisp, cooked bacon crumbled 3 ounces coarsely grated cheese Optional ( for cheese or any other filling) -sprinkle a little cheese over the top of the quiche and dot with butter before baking 1/4 cup, smoked salmon- chopped; add dill or parsley 1/2 cu to 3/4 cup, cooked broccoli or other vegetable of your choice, optional- add 1/4 cup grated cheese to vegetable 1/2 to 3/4 cup, diced sauteed ( or caramelized) onion 1/2 cup or as desired, leftover shredded meat or poultry diced, sautéed jalapeño or other chile (to taste) fresh snipped herbs of your choice

Bland quiche. The crust was soggy and the filling was tasteless. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I won't be making this quiche again.

Disappointing quiche. The crust was tough and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this quiche again.

The quiche was delicious! The crust was cooked perfectly. I used a combination of Gruyère cheese and Cheddar cheese, and the results were perfect. I'll definitely make this quiche again.

This quiche recipe is a keeper! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the filling was rich and creamy. I added some chopped bacon and cheese to the filling, and it was even better. I will definitely be making this again.
