Fluffy Spinach, Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Quiche With Gruyere image

In my quest to find out what makes a quiche fluffy, I've cobbled together this recipe. And it makes a great tasting quiche with a beautiful presentation. The key (surprisingly) is not to overbeat the eggs, not to use too hot of an oven, and don't overdue the liquids.

Yield 6 slices, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

9 inches baked pie crusts
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 ounces gruyere cheese, grated

1 large onion, chopped

Steps:

The Gruyere cheese adds a nice sharpness to this quiche. I also like to add a little bit of crumbled bacon.

The quiche was delicious, but the crust was a little soggy. I think I'll try blind baking the crust next time.

This quiche was a hit! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I added some extra red peppers for a pop of color and it turned out beautifully. I would definitely make this again.
