Tips:

  • Use a deep-dish pie plate or 9x13 inch baking dish to ensure the quiche is thick and has a sturdy crust.
  • If you are using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to pre-bake it before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overfill the quiche. The filling should come to within about 1/2 inch of the top of the crust.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out.
