The quiche has a golden-brown crust with a ridged edge around the pie, filled with a creamy, yellow egg layer mixed with melted cheese that gives spots of orange color, and bits of green herbs or scallions are scattered throughout. The texture on top is slightly browned and bubbly, highlighting the melted cheese and cooked egg. It is placed on a white marbled surface with a glimpse of a white plate beneath.

Ingredients

1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust
6 eggs
¾ cup heavy cream
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
½ cup swiss cheese, shredded
¼ cup yellow onion, diced
2½ tablespoons green onions, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F and remove the pie crust from the refrigerator to bring it to room temperature.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Step 3: Add the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, swiss cheeses, diced yellow onion, and chopped green onions to the egg mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 4: Roll out the pie crust and carefully press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish if desired.
Step 5: Pour the cheese and egg mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 38 to 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 8 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding cooked bacon or sautéed spinach to the cheese mixture.
Use fresh herbs like thyme or chives for a bright, fresh note.
If you prefer a crispier crust, bake the pie crust for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
Swap out the swiss cheese for gruyere for a nuttier taste.

Storage

Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through. Quiche can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
