Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, or your choice)
• 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or ham (optional)
• 1 cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, onions, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing vegetables)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (thyme, oregano, or basil, optional)

Directions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps for a delicious quiche:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently. Trim any excess crust, and pre-bake if your crust needs it.
3. If you’re using vegetables, heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the veggies until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Let them cool a bit. If adding meat, make sure it’s cooked and crumbled.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and dried herbs if using.
5. Spread the cooked vegetables and/or meat evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on and pour the egg mixture on top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until set in the center and lightly golden. A knife inserted should come out clean.
7. Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
