Ingredients  

  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 + 1/2 Cups milk
  • 1 Cup pre-cooked and prepared ingredients
  • 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
  • Optional: spices of choice
  • Optional: top with cheese

Instructions 

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust
    Roll out your pie dough on a lightly floured surface until it fits your pie dish, keeping it thick enough to hold together.
    Transfer the dough to a glass or ceramic pie dish, press it into the edges, and trim any excess.
    Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the fillings.
  2. Prepare the Filling
    Cook any ingredients you’ll be adding to your quiche—such as sautéed vegetables, bacon, ham, or shredded cheese.
    Let the cooked ingredients cool slightly before assembling.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Set the mixture aside.
  4. Blind Bake the Crust
    Dock (optional): Remove crust from the fridge and lightly prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
    Add weights: Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights, dried beans, or rice.
    Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes.
    Remove weights: Take out the parchment and weights.
    Bake again: Return the crust to the oven for 8–10 minutes, until the bottom looks dry and lightly golden.
  5. Assemble the Quiche
    Spread your cooked fillings evenly over the blind-baked crust.
    Pour the egg mixture overtop.
    If desired, sprinkle cheese on the surface.
  6. Bake the Quiche
    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–60 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed, golden, and the centre is set.
  7. Cool and Serve
    Allow the quiche to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up, making cleaner slices and better texture.
