Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (120 g) cheddar cheese (finely shredded)
- 1/2 cup (120 g) mozzarella cheese (finely shredded)
- 1/2 cup (120 g) Swiss cheese (finely shredded)
- 1/4 cup (40 g) yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 1/2 tbsps (37 ml) green onions (finely chopped)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, ensuring the cooking environment is precisely calibrated for optimal quiche preparation.
- Whisk eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency that will become the quiche’s rich custard base.
- Fold shredded cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss cheeses, yellow onions, and green onions into the egg mixture, distributing ingredients evenly to guarantee a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Carefully unfurl the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently to line the bottom and sides, creating a delicate foundation for the quiche. Crimp the edges with a fork for an elegant finish.
- Gently pour the cheese and egg mixture into the prepared crust, using a spatula to create an even surface that will bake uniformly.
- Transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven and bake for 38-40 minutes. Monitor the quiche as it cooks, looking for a set center and golden-brown crust that indicates perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche rest for 8-10 minutes, allowing the filling to stabilize and making it easier to slice cleanly. Serve warm or at room temperature for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Mix different cheese types for enhanced flavor complexity and texture variation, ensuring a rich and balanced taste profile.
- Experiment with homemade or store-bought pie crusts, including gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions.
- Add roasted vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to increase nutritional value and create unique flavor combinations.
- Prepare the quiche in advance and refrigerate, then reheat at 350°F for 15-20 minutes for a quick and convenient meal option.
