Step 3: Blind Bake the Crust (Optional but Recommended)

  1. Line the crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil and fill it with pie weights, dried beans, or rice.
  2. Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Remove the weights and parchment, then bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 4: Prepare the Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until fully combined.
  2. Stir in your choice of cooked vegetables, meat, and shredded cheese. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Assemble & Bake

  1. Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust. Spread it evenly.
  2. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
    • To test, gently shake the pan; the center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid.
  3. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

  • Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Pair it with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or a light soup for a complete meal.

Tips for the Best Quiche

  • Cheese Choice: Gruyère melts beautifully and adds a nutty flavor. Mix cheeses for added depth.
  • Vegetables: Sauté vegetables before adding them to the quiche to avoid excess moisture.
  • Custard: Heavy cream makes the filling rich and creamy, while milk lightens it slightly. The combination is perfect for a silky texture.
  • Make-Ahead: Quiche can be prepared a day in advance and reheated. It also freezes well for future meals.

This Best Ever Quiche balances a crisp, buttery crust with a luscious, savory filling that can be customized to your taste. With careful preparation and attention to detail, it’s a dish that will impress anyone at your table.


If you want, I can also create a shortcut version that uses store-bought pie crust and is perfect for quick weeknight meals, keeping it just as flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
