- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Gruyere, or Swiss
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Make the pie crust by combining flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Roll out the dough and press into a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Pour into the pie crust. Top with cheese.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden brown.
