🛠️ Tools You’ll Need

- Mixing bowl

- Measuring spoons & cups
- Oven
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Take your refrigerated pie crust out and let it soften slightly for easier handling.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- 6 eggs
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Once smooth, stir in:
- ½ cup cheddar cheese
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Swiss cheese
- ¼ cup diced yellow onion
- 2½ tbsp chopped green onions
Mix until well combined.
3. Prep the Pie Crust
Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim or crimp the edges however you like—rustic or fancy!
4. Fill and Bake
Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 38–40 minutes, or until:
- The top is lightly golden
- The center is just set (no jiggle when you tap it)
5. Cool & Serve
Let your quiche cool for 8–10 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows it to finish setting and makes cutting clean slices easier.
Serve it warm, at room temperature, or even cold straight from the fridge.
🧊 Storage & Reheating
Fridge:
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezer:
- Let the baked quiche cool completely, then wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat from frozen at 350°F for 25–30 minutes.
Reheating:
- Reheat individual slices in the microwave (30–45 seconds) or in the oven at 325°F until warm.
🍽️ What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad or grapes for a bright contrast
- Green salad with vinaigrette for a light dinner
- Roasted asparagus or sautéed spinach for a veggie side
- Hash browns or breakfast potatoes for brunch vibes
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use milk instead of cream?
Yes, but your quiche will be slightly less rich. Whole milk or half-and-half is best for texture.
Can I make this crustless?
Absolutely! Just grease your pie dish well and bake as directed. It may take a few minutes less to set.
How do I know when the quiche is done?
The edges will be golden, and the center will no longer jiggle when you tap the dish. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Can I prep it the night before?
Yes! Assemble everything, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning.
