Steps:
- 1. Mix eggs and milk well. Add salt, pepper, herbs as desired.
- 2. Put additional ingredients in pie shell (any veggies, meats or cheeses.) Pour egg mixture over it. It may seem ready to overflow. If you have a lot in the pie shell, tap it down to let the egg settle around your ingredients. If it still seems too full, discard the additional egg mix (or use it for an omlette)
- 3. Place the pie on a cookie sheet to catch any overflow. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until crust and top are golden.

QUICHE RECIPE
This is a perfect base quiche recipe and it's all baked in a super flaky homemade pie crust. Use a combination of milk and heavy cream for the richest, creamiest filling and add your favorites such as bacon, feta cheese, ham, white cheddar cheese, crab meat or spinach.

Steps:
- I like to make sure my pie dough is prepared before I begin the quiche. Make pie dough the night before because it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before rolling out and blind baking (next step).
- On a floured work surface, roll out one of the disks of chilled dough (use the 2nd pie crust for another recipe). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9-inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is completely smooth. To make a lovely edge, I do not trim excess dough around the edges. Instead, fold the excess dough back over the edge and use your hands to mold the edge into a rim around the pie. Crimp the edges with a fork or use your fingers to flute the edges. Chill the pie crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 5 days. Cover the pie crust with plastic wrap if chilling for longer than 30 minutes.
- While the crust is chilling, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line the chilled pie crust with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans. Make sure the weights are evenly distributed around the pie dish. Bake until the edges of the crust are starting to brown, about 15-16 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and carefully lift the parchment paper (with the weights) out of the pie. Prick holes all around the bottom crust with a fork. Return the pie crust to the oven. Bake until the bottom crust is just beginning to brown, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. (Crust can still be warm when you pour in the filling. You can partially pre-bake the crust up to 3 days ahead of time. Cover cooled crust tightly and refrigerate until ready to fill.)
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
- In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together on high speed until completely combined, about 1 minute. Whisk in add-ins and then pour into crust.
- Bake the quiche until the center is just about set, about 45-55 minutes. Don't over-bake. Use a pie crust shield to prevent the pie crust edges from over-browning. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Top with optional toppings before slicing and serving, if desired. Or you can cool the quiche completely before serving- it's fantastic at room temperature!
- This quiche makes great leftovers! Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
EASY QUICHE

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your quiche a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Gruyère, Swiss, and mozzarella.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough. Just whisk them until they are combined.
- Blind-bake the crust. This will help to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind-bake the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your quiche the best flavor. If you can, use vegetables that are in season.
- Don't overcrowd the quiche. If you put too many fillings in the quiche, it will be difficult to cook through. Aim for a filling that is about 1 inch thick.
- Bake the quiche until it is set. The quiche is done baking when the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Conclusion:
Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese. With a little planning, you can easily create a quiche that is both delicious and beautiful.
