Quick Quiche
This recipe offers a simple approach to making a quick quiche using a premade crust. Combining eggs, dairy, cheese, spinach, and seasonings, the filling is poured into the crust and baked until golden and set, perfect for a fast breakfast or brunch.
Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 9-inch Deep Pie Dish
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
Main
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/3 cup minced onions
- Salt and garlic powder
- 8 ounces shredded Swiss or sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach
- 1 premade piecrust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, mayonnaise, and flour. Add the remaining ingredients. Place the piecrust in a deep, 9-inch pie dish. Pour the egg mixture into the crust and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the top is golden brown.
Notes
Ensure frozen spinach is thoroughly thawed and squeezed dry to prevent a watery quiche filling. The mayonnaise may seem unusual, but it contributes richness and helps the quiche set beautifully; don't substitute it unless familiar with alternative bindings. Season the mixture generously with salt and garlic powder, tasting as you go. Quiche is done when the center is set and no longer liquid or excessively jiggly. Allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking before slicing for cleaner portions.
