Ingredients You’ll Need Quiche Recipe

For the Crust:

• 1 (9-inch) pie crust (homemade or store-bought, pre-baked if desired)

For the Filling:

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or gruyere work well)
• 1 cup cooked and chopped filling ingredients (such as spinach, bacon, ham, mushrooms, or onions)

How to Make Quiche Recipe

1. Preheat the oven:
   • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the crust:
   • Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan. If desired, pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes to ensure a crisp bottom.
3. Make the egg mixture:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
4. Assemble the quiche:
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the crust. Add your filling ingredients on top of the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
5. Bake:
   • Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
6. Cool and serve:
   • Let the quiche cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
