Tips:
- Prep your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to this quiche. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the quiche tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the Quiche Until It's Set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean, the quiche is done.
- Let the Quiche Cool Before Serving: Let the quiche cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.
