The Perfect Pie Crust
The base of any good quiche is a pie crust. There are many ways to use pie crust. For example, I use pie crust with Chicken pot pie, quiche, pop-tarts, pies and more. Click the link below for the recipe for pie crust I always use.
Quiche Recipe
Ingredients
1 unbaked pie crust
6 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
(Double for making 2 quiche)
Directions for Quiche
1. Firstly, place pie crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges.
Making a pie crust is so easy, check out this link to one of my blogs on how to make your own pie crust.
2. Whisk 6 eggs and heavy cream together until fully blended.
If you want a lower fat option, opt for Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. Then season the eggs with salt and pepper.
3. Shred 4-ounces of cheddar cheese and then add the cheese to the pie crust.
Freshly shredded cheese is best because it will mix well with the eggs and does not have any anti-caking powder like a pre-shredded cheese will have.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the top of the cheese in the pie crust, then gently stir in the cheese.
5. Place the quiche in a preheated 400-degree oven and if you have a pie crust cover, place it and cook for 10 minutes. Levi was my cameraman so I could get these quiches into the oven. He is turning into a great helper taking pictures.
6. Take off the pie crust cover and finish cooking for 25-30 more minutes until a knife comes out clean. Pie crust shields are great to keep the crusts of your pie from burning. Below is a picture Levi had taken of himself while I was placing the quiches into the oven, this kid is just the cutest!
Make sure you check the link for prices as they often change! Since 2015, I have used these personally on a weekly basis.
7. Remove the quiche from the oven and then let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite toppings! For example, we eat quiche with salsa, Greek yogurt, hot sauce, avocados, tomatoes and extra shredded cheese. We then plate up these toppings and have them on the table, so we have a variety of choices.
OOOWWWWWW So… I seriously just had a failure. My first time ever using my pie crust shields, it flipped over itself and onto my arm! Youchies folks… That hurts! Anyone have helpful tips on how NOT to do this ever again? Hahaha
