Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets
Ingredients:
- 1 ready-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)

My little kitchen secrets:
I always pre-bake the crust for a few minutes. This keeps it crisp and prevents it from becoming soggy. I also gently whisk the eggs instead of beating them too hard. This helps the Easy Homemade Quiche stay soft and creamy.

- I place the pie crust in a tart pan and prick the bottom with a fork.
- I pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes.
- I heat olive oil and lightly cook onions and vegetables.
- In a bowl, I whisk eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- I spread vegetables and cheese over the crust.
- I pour the egg mixture on top.
- I bake for 35–40 minutes until set and golden.
- I let it rest before slicing.
Every time I take this Easy Homemade Quiche out of the oven, I pause and enjoy the smell. It always feels worth it.
