Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyere)
- 1 cup filling of choice (e.g., diced ham, cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (optional: parsley, chives, thyme)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust around the edges and crimp as desired.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, and milk until thoroughly combined.
Stir in salt, black pepper, and any optional chopped fresh herbs.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Add an even layer of your chosen filling(s) on top of the cheese.
Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and filling, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Carefully place the pie dish on the center rack of the preheated oven.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
