Homemade Quiche

After having a homemade quiche at a baby shower, I simply had to make one for a breakfast-for-dinner night. These are so simple; they're like the homemade pizza of the breakfast world because you can throw any chopped veggies in them. Feel free to experiment with fillings and to make you're own crust (I'm not that brave). I hope you enjoy!
  • 1 9" pie crust
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper
  • herbs of choice (basil, oregano, thyme...)
  • 1 cup of grated cheese(s) of any kind
  • 1 cup of filling ingredients of your choice: spinach, sauteed mushrooms, onions, leeks, broccoli etc.
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake pie crust in greased pie dish for time suggested on pie shell box. (approx. 8 minutes)
  2. Fill pie shell with your chosen ingredients and top with cheese. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees.
  3. Lightly whisk eggs in a small bowl and add cream, salt, pepper, and other chosen spices. Whisk well and pour into pie shell.
  4. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted 1" from edge comes out clean. You made need to cover quiche halfway through to prevent crust edges from burning.
