Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 15 pieces pepperoni slices
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess overhang. Crimp the edges if desired. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Blind bake the crust by lining it with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom of the cooled pie crust.
Layer the spinach leaves and cherry tomato halves on top of the mozzarella cheese, followed by half of the pepperoni slices.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and pepperoni, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Top the quiche with the remaining 0.5 cups of mozzarella cheese and arrange the remaining pepperoni slices decoratively on the surface.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the top to help the cheese brown beautifully while baking.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed and golden, and the center is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes to set before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Pizza Quiche!
