Quiche is a versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a custard-filled pie that's made with eggs, milk or cream, and a variety of cheeses and seasonings. One of my favorite quiches to make is the Three Cheese Quiche, which is a delicious combination of Gruyere, Swiss, and cheddar cheese.
I first made this quiche for my kids on a lazy Sunday morning, and they loved it so much that they asked for it every week afterwards. It's now become a staple in our household, and I love how easy it is to customize with different cheeses and fillings. Whether we're serving it for breakfast with a side of fruit, or for dinner with a side salad, this quiche always hits the spot. It's the perfect dish for when you want something hearty and comforting, without having to spend too much time in the kitchen.
Three Cheese Quiche
Ingredients:1 pie crust, 9 inches (store-bought or homemade)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
Instructions:1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges if needed and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
4. Stir in the grated Gruyere cheese, Swiss cheese, and cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the prebaked pie crust.
6. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
7. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
