Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 3 ears of corn)
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Thinly sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch quiche pan or pie dish. Trim the edges if necessary.
To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, blind bake it: Line the crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smooth.
Stir in the fresh corn kernels, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading everything out evenly.
Place the filled quiche on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow it to set completely. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired, for garnish.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
