Easy and Basic Quiche Recipe

Instructions

1 If you are using your own pastry crust dough, prepare it first since it must sit
in the refrigerator about 30 minutes before rolling out. If you are using
store-bought dough, no need to worry about the dough until it's time to use it.
2 Wash and cut the vegetables. Put the oil in a pan over medium heat and then add
the cut vegetables and sauté. Let the vegetables melt a little until they soften
yet retain a certain firmness (about 5 minutes). You don't want the vegetables
used in a quiche filling to be too soft, especially since they will cook again
when the quiche is in then oven.
3 If you are adding protein, cut the protein into small pieces, unless you have
thin slices that can be laid on the bottom or top of quiche before baking. Put
the oil in a pan over medium heat and then add the cut protein and sauté. Make
sure the protein is cooked, yet remember it will cook a little more when the
quiche is in then oven.
4 Add the fresh or dried herbs, garlic or other seasonings and cook for another
minute or so. Fresh herbs do not need to cook long. Add your salt and pepper.
Let cool slightly.
5 In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, milk and grated cheese. This is also the
moment to add any neutral cheese added for creaminess, such as Ricotta or cream
cheese.
6 Preheat the oven the oven to 350° F / 175° C. Roll out the pasty crust dough and
place it over your baking dish, leaving a little room on top for decoration. I
usually just crimp the dough between my thumb and forefinger as I go around the
dish. If you are feeling more artistic or creative, feel free to add other
designs to make your quiche stand out.
7 Add the vegetables to the egg-milk mixture. And then pour into the quiche crust.
Another option is to spread the vegetables along the bottom of the crust in the
pan and then pour the egg-milk mixture on top. This option is especially good if
your filling is composed of items that can be presented along the bottom to make
your quiche more presentable (for example, with asparagus stalks).
8 Put the quiche into the pre-heated oven and cook for about 45-50 minutes until
the top is lightly browned and the crust starts pulling away from the pan.
