Ingredients Needed
- 1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese (about 6 ounces)
- 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust, frozen
- ½ cup cooked ham, diced
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground dry mustard
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped pimento peppers
How To Make Basic Quiche Recipe
- Prepare the Oven and Pie Crust: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the frozen pie crust on a baking sheet.
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture: Toss the shredded Swiss cheese and flour together in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the cheese-flour mixture evenly onto the frozen pie crust. Add diced ham on top of the cheese.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and dry mustard until smooth. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and ham in the pie crust.
- Protect the Crust: Wrap foil around the edges of the crust to prevent it from burning.
- Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley and pimento peppers before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Broccoli: Make sure to use fresh, firm broccoli for the best texture and flavor. If you use frozen broccoli, make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid extra moisture.
- Pre-Bake the Crust: To avoid a soggy bottom, pre-bake the pie crust for 5-7 minutes before adding the filling.
- Add Cheese to the Filling: For extra creaminess and flavor, mix some shredded cheese (like Swiss or cheddar) into the egg mixture before pouring it into the crust.
- Don’t Overcook the Quiche: Bake until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Overcooking can lead to a dry filling.
- Let it Cool Before Slicing: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing to let the filling set and prevent it from spilling out.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate leftover quiche in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: For freezing, wrap tightly and store for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheating: Reheat leftover quiche in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until warm.
