Your Basic Quiche Food

BASIC QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
• Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl.
• Add filling and milk and mix well.
• Pour mixture into frozen pie crust.
• Place quiche on cookie sheet and bake on the middle oven rack for 45-50 minutes, or until top is browned and a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• Serve with a crisp green salad or maybe some fresh fruit on the side.

BASIC QUICHE RECIPE (USING ANY FILLING OF YOUR CHOICE!)

Steps:

• Prepare Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll pie crust out and fit into 9 inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and flute the edges.
• Blind Bake Crust: Line the inside of the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or beans (I use pinto beans) make sure that they are up against the sides of the pie crust. Bake the crust for about 20 minutes. Remove the weights and then bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. The crust will be golden.
• Prepare the egg mixture: add the eggs to a large measuring cup. Add the heavy cream, then add the milk, the total measurement of the eggs, cream and milk should come to 2 and 1/2 cups (600 ml). Add the salt and pepper.
• Mix: use a hand mixer, or whisk vigorously, to ensure the egg and cream mixture is completely mixed.
• Add Fillings: Spread the desired fillings on the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture on top.
• Bake: Bake the quiche at 350℉ degrees for about 45-50 minutes. The quiche will be slightly wobbly in just the center.
• Cool: Allow to cool for about 20 minutes to room temperature. Quiche can be served warm, cold, or room temperature.

QUICHE RECIPE

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

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 10 inch quiche dish.
• In a large bowl, beat together milk, eggs, baking mix, butter and parmesan cheese. Batter will be lumpy. Stir in broccoli, ham and Cheddar cheese. Pour into prepared quiche dish.
• Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes, until eggs are set and top is golden brown.

BASIC QUICHE

Steps:

• Heat your oven to 375°F. Fit the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Place on a baking sheet.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir in the onion mixture and the Gruyère.
• Pour the egg mixture into the crust. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drizzle the greens with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the quiche.

BASIC QUICHE

Steps:

• Spread filling ingredients in pie shell.
• Whisk eggs and evaporated milk in medium bowl. Pour mixture over filling.
• Bake in preheated 350°F (180°C) oven until a knife inserted near centre comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

THE BEST BASIC QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Layer olives, cheese, ham, and onions into the pie crust and pour egg mixture over the top.
• Place pie pan on a baking sheet and bake for 60 minutes or until the center of the quiche is just set-- it will jiggle like jello right in the center and when you insert a knife into the center it will come out with just moisture on the blade.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

THE ONLY BASIC QUICHE RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Pre-bake the crust: Roll dough to fit slightly larger than a 9-inch fluted tart pan. Press dough into fluted edges of pan, trimming off excess pieces if needed. Poke several holes in the crust with a fork. Line crust with parchment paper, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Place pan on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Remove weights and foil, and bake 5 more minutes. Cool completely on baking sheet on a wire rack (about 15 minutes). Reduce oven temperature to 375°.
• Cook the mushrooms: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour in oil, add mushrooms, and saute until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Prepare the custard: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, chives, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• Assemble the quiche: Spoon the mushrooms, bacon, and cheese into the crust. Pour in egg mixture and carefully transfer to oven.
• Bake until set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean), about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes. Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

BASIC QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a pie or quiche pan on a small baking sheet to make it easier to handle and to catch the drips. Lay the prepared pie crust into the quiche pan and trim the edges.
• Layer the meat, cheese, and/or vegetable fillings in the bottom of the prepared pan.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the fillings in the pie shell. (This is the point at which you could freeze it, if making it in advance. Lay the pie plate on a rack in the freezer until firm. Wrap tightly with foil and place inside a labeled, ziptop freezer bag.)
• Bake the quiche for 30 to 40 minutes or until set and golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving. (If baking from frozen, there's no need to thaw. Just add 5 to 10 minutes to your baking time.)

1-2-3 BASIC QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small skillet saute onion in a little oil until tender, set aside to cool.
• In a medium mixing bowl stir together eggs, milk, mustard, salt, pepper, cheese, and onions. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake until knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.

YOUR BASIC QUICHE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425ºF. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and add the milk and half-and-half or cream. Whisk together thoroughly and then stir in the shredded cheese and herbs. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake for 30 minutes. If the quiche still has a liquidy and jiggly center, bake for another 10 minutes. If firm, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Quiche can be served at room temperature. Tip: If your crust edges start to burn, wrap aluminum foil over the edges and keep cooking as instructed above. Note: If you want to add any of the optional additions mentioned above, simply stir them in when you are adding the cheese, but reduce the amount of cheese by 1/2 cup so everything fits!

EASIEST CHEESE QUICHE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Let refrigerated crust stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, then gently unroll. Place in a 9-inch pie pan , press into bottom and up sides, and flute edges. Be careful not to stretch the pie crust as you work, because if you do, it will shrink during baking.
• Sprinkle cheese into the bottom of the pie crust; set aside.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cream, flour, chives, salt, and pepper, and beat with a wire whisk until the mixture is smooth and incorporated.
• Pour the custard mixture carefully over the cheeses in the crust.
• Bake the quiche for 40 to 50 minutes until the quiche is puffed, golden brown, and set. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges. Serve and enjoy.

QUICHE BASIC...THEN YOU TO ADD YOUR FAVORITES

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix your eggs, milk, cheese and salt and pepper with a whisk. After beating your egg mixture you can add your meats and veggies of your choice by folding them through mixture until blended. Pour in greased pie pan, add 1/2 cup cheese on top and bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. After finished baking I usually let my cool for 15 minutes.
• Note: Make sure the quiche is cooked all the way through. Check the center to see if firm to the touch.
