Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1.25 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, gruyere, or a blend of your choice)
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon or ham (optional)
- 1 cup sautéed vegetables (spinach, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter or non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
- 2 tablespoons green onions or fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, salt, black pepper, and optionally, nutmeg. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Add in your choice of cooked bacon, ham, or sautéed vegetables. Stir until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, ensuring the fillings are evenly distributed.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious no-pastry quiche!
