Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 pound ground beef
- 0.5 cup yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 eggs
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 cup dill pickle chips (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet, breaking apart the beef with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Season the beef mixture with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, ketchup, and yellow mustard until well combined.
Roll out the prepared pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging dough.
Evenly spread the cooked beef mixture over the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped dill pickle chips on top of the beef layer.
Carefully pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
To freeze, let the quiche cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through.
