Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust, refrigerated, homemade, or frozen
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cream, or half and half or whole milk
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg, optional
- 2-3 cups flavor additions, see notes for suggestions
Instructions
- Roll out the pie crust into a ¼-inch thick circle and place it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim off excess dough and crimp the edges. Freeze for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake at 375℉ (190℃) for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove the weights and continue baking until golden, about 5 to 10 minutes more.
- If using a frozen pie crust, bake for 10 minutes at 375℉ (190℃) before filling with the egg mixture and then let cool slightly.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with flavor additions such as cheese, vegetables, or cooked meats.
Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
This dish can be made ahead of time and served warm or at room temperature.
