Tristan’s Quiche Recipe
Inspired by Sally’s Baking Recipe for the insides and Food.Com for the crust
Crust Recipe Ingredients
1 cup flour
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 cup olive oil
1⁄4 cup ice water (I use refrigerated water)
Quiche Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cream
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1 cup shredded or crumbled cheese such as feta, cheddar, goat cheese, or gruyere
up to 2 cups add-ins
optional toppings for serving: extra cheese, chopped herbs, hollandaise sauce, & freshly ground pepper to taste
Crust Instructions
- Mix flour and salt with fork.
- Beat oil and water with whisk or fork to thicken. Pour into flour and mix with fork.
- Press into 9″ pie crust. Fill with quiche mixture and bake at 400F until done.
Quiche Instructions
- In a large bowl with a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper together on high speed until completely combined, about 1 minute. Whisk in add-ins and then pour into crust.
- Add-In Note: Add up to 2 cups add-ins including vegetables and meat/seafood. Most quiche add-ins should be pre-cooked and can still be warm when mixing into the egg filling. Pat dry prior to mixing in.
- Salt Note: Reduce or leave out salt if your add-ins and cheese are particularly salty. For example, in the 3 recipes listed in the next note, I don’t even add salt!
