Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece pre-made pie crust
- 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Press it gently into the dish and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, nutmeg (if using), and chopped parsley.
Sprinkle the cooked chicken evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
Add the sautéed onions on top of the chicken, spreading them evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the chicken and onions.
Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, ensuring an even distribution.
Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
