Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pre-made pie crust
- 1.5 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the pie crust by placing it in a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges as desired.
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the chopped green onions for 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Scatter the shredded chicken evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Layer the sautéed green onions on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the chicken and green onions, ensuring an even distribution of cheese.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the pie crust. Use a spoon to gently distribute the liquid, ensuring it fills the gaps without overflowing.
Transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Slice into wedges and enjoy this hearty, savory quiche on its own or with a side of salad or roasted vegetables.
