Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece store-bought or homemade pie crust
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and carefully press it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim any excess dough and decorate the edges as desired.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent puffing during baking. Blind bake by lining the crust with parchment paper and filling it with pie weights (or dried beans). Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 5 minutes. Allow the crust to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth.
Stir in the chopped tarragon, thyme leaves, shredded Gruyère cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
