Best 4 Moms Quiche Recipes

EASY SPINACH QUICHE

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• If using a frozen pie crust, thaw, and keep in the fridge until needed.
• Put the thawed spinach in a colander and squeeze and drain as much water as possible. Make sure it is very well drained. Set aside.
• Slice the mushrooms and sauté over medium high heat in a medium skillet with 1 to 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 5 to 6 minutes.
• Cook bacon and chop into small pieces. Place on paper towels to absorb any excess grease. Try baking bacon or making air fryer bacon.
• Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator. If using a frozen pie crust, place the pie tin in a larger pie dish.
• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, evaporated milk, ricotta cheese, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper together until smooth. Stir in the spinach, cheddar cheese, and mushrooms until combined.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Arrange the crumbled bacon on top. (The bacon can also be mixed in with the filling if you prefer.)
• Carefully place the quiche on the heated baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the middle is just set and is no longer jiggly. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.

THE BEST CLASSIC QUICHE

Steps:

• If using a refrigerated pie sheet or homemade pie crust, roll out pastry dough into a 1/4 inch thick circle and place it into a 9-inch pie pan or 9-inch deep-dish tart pan. Trim off excess pie dough and crimp edges using your fingers. Place pie dough into the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• If using a refrigerated pie sheet or homemade pie crust, line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until lightly golden and set, 15 minutes. Remove pie weights and continue baking until the bottom crust is golden, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
• If using a frozen-ready to bake pie crust, bake from frozen for 10 minutes at 375 degrees F, before filling with the egg mixture. Let cool slightly.
• Once the pie crust has been baked, whisk or blend together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and onion powder until light and fluffy. Gently tap out excess air bubbles.
• Sprinkle the desired 2 cups of fillings evenly over the cooled crust. Pour the egg mixture over the pie crust. Top with additional cheese if desired.
• Bake quiche at 375 degrees until eggs are set, about 35-40 minutes, checking on pie crust after 25 minutes, and covering the crust with pie shields or foil to prevent overbrowning. The quiche is done when the edges are set, but the center wiggles slightly.
• Let quiche cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and enjoying.

BREAKFAST QUICHE

Steps:

• On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pastry. Transfer the crust into a pie pan (8-9 inches wide and 2 inch deep). Trim pastry off the edges of the pie pan.
• Cover the pie crust with parchment paper. Fill it with rice or peas to hold the pie crust down. Bake at 350 °F for 30 minutes. Remove the pie crust from the oven, let it cool down and remove the rice from the crust.
• Fill crust with mushrooms, bacon and sprinkle with mozzarella.
• Whisk eggs together with heavy cream, pour over filled pie crust.
• Bake at 375 °F for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
