Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
- 1 cup diced cooked meat (ham, bacon, or sausage)
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Sift in the flour and baking powder, and whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and any desired seasonings.
Fold in the shredded cheese, cooked meat, and chopped vegetables, ensuring an even distribution.
Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish, spreading it out evenly with a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad or your favorite condiments.
