Beginner Quiche Recipes

BEGINNER QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Preheat a cookie sheet or upside down cast iron pan.
• Parbake pie crust by lining uncooked pie crust with parchment paper and filling with pie weights or uncooked dry beans.
• Bake atop cookie sheet or cast iron pan for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• While crust is baking, mix together eggs and milk until thoroughly combined.
• Add onion powder, pepper and nutmeg.
• Sweat onions in oil/butter until soft.
• Sprinkle with salt while cooking to prevent browning.
• If they get a little brown, that is okay.
• Remove onions from heat and set aside.
• Shred cheese, if necessary.
• You should have 8 ounces total of shredded cheese. The weight is AFTER shredding.
• Mix shredded cheese with flour.
• Remove crust from oven.
• Fill with onions, bacon, cheese in that order.
• Pour egg/milk mixture over fillings until crust is full (just below the crust edge). DO NOT OVERFILL!
• (If you have extra custard mix, you can cook it in small Pyrex ramekins with a bit of cheese for a crustless mini-quiche.)
• Cover edges of pie crust with foil to prevent over-browning. Remove this foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes on the preheated cookie sheet or cast iron pan.
• Allow to cool slightly before serving.
• This can also be served cold for brunches or breakfast.
• To reheat in the microwave, place 1 slice on a plate; cover with paper towel; warm on 70% power for 1-2 minutes.
