Ingredients
Scale
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
6 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Monterey Jack)
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese and your chosen cooked fillings.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the pie crust.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let the quiche cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a make-ahead option, bake the quiche completely, let it cool, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
This quiche also freezes well. Wrap cooled quiche tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as directed above.
Experiment with different cheese and filling combinations like spinach and feta, or ham and Swiss.
