Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch/23 cm)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- ½ cup (60g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (60g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming the edges if necessary. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. - Blind Bake the Crust:
Line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment and bake for another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. - Make the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined. - Assemble the Quiche:
Sprinkle the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the cheeses, spreading it evenly. - Bake:
Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. - Cool and Serve:
Let the quiche cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, paired with a fresh salad or fruit for a complete meal.
Notes
- Cheese Variations: Swap the cheeses with Gruyère, Swiss, or feta for a different flavor profile.
- Add-Ins: Include cooked bacon, sautéed spinach, or roasted vegetables for a heartier quiche.
