Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Store-bought or homemade pie crust
- 1 cup Plain unsweetened yogurt
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, or mozzarella)
- 0.5 cup Cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham (optional)
- 1 cup Chopped fresh spinach or other vegetables (optional, e.g., mushrooms, bell peppers)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie or tart pan. Trim any excess crust hanging over the edges. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling.
Blind bake the crust: Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, and eggs until smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
If adding bacon, ham, spinach, or other vegetables, spread them evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked crust.
Pour the yogurt and egg mixture over the fillings in the crust. Use a spatula to ensure the filling is evenly distributed.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Easy Quiche Made with Yogurt!
