Quiche, the right way

Ingredients

Ingredient Subheading

  • 1 Deep dish pie crust
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 8 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Cream
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cayenne Pepper

Hearty Bits (Cook’s Choice)

I tend to use whatever is left over in the kitchen

  • Broccoli
  • Peas
  • Shredded Cheddar
  • Onions
  • Bacon
  • Whatever tastes good

Directions

Prepare crust

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350F
  2. Take pie crust directly from freezer
  3. Gently poke holes in crust bottom without poking through pie tin or cracking crust
  4. Par-bake crust at 350F for 15 mins

Prepare quiche

  1. Sautee any ingredients that require a little pre-cooking such as onions
  2. In a large bowl, mix eggs, sour cream, and cream together. Don’t overdo it.
  3. Combine seasonings into egg mixture
  4. Put an even layer a cheese over bottom of pie crust 1
  5. Pour in egg mixture to just below 1/2 of pie filling depth
  6. Add in 1/2 of the Hearty Bits being careful not to add too much, overfilling the quiche
  7. Layer a different cheese on top
  8. Pour in egg mixture to bring up to just below top of pie crust
  9. Add in other 1/2 of the Hearty Bits or until quiche level is close to even
  10. Layer a different cheese on top
  11. Top with a little sriracha swirl if you’re feeling spicy

Cook the quiche

  1. Put tinfoil over pie 2
  2. Put tinfoil in oven to catch any overflow from the quiche or put quiche in backing pan/tray
  3. Cook quiche until center is between 165-185F 3 (about 45 mins to an hour)
  4. Take off tinfoil for last 15 mins to allow cheese and crust to Brown
  5. Let rest for 20-30 mins
  6. Eat while warm, refrigerate the rest

Footnotes


  1. This will turn nice and crispy ↩︎

  2. Be careful to raise the tinfoil so it does not contact the top of the quiche. This will serve to keep the top of the quiche and edge of the crust from over-browing or burning ↩︎

  3. This is the perfect temp range for eggs ↩︎
