🧀 Three Cheese Quiche

🛒 Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
    (If homemade: 1¼ cups flour, ½ tsp salt, ½ cup cold butter, 3–4 tbsp ice water)


For the Filling

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream

  • ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • Pinch nutmeg (optional but recommended)

The Three Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or Swiss)

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
    (Freshly grated melts best)

Optional:

  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme or chives

  • ½ cup sautéed onions or spinach


👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prep the Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp edges.

  3. Prick bottom with a fork.

  4. Line with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

  5. Bake 10–12 minutes. Remove weights and bake 5 more minutes.
    (This prevents a soggy crust.)


2️⃣ Make the Custard

  1. In a bowl, whisk eggs, cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.

  2. Stir in all three cheeses.


3️⃣ Assemble

  1. Pour cheese mixture into pre-baked crust.

  2. Sprinkle extra cheese or herbs on top if desired.


4️⃣ Bake

  • Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes.

  • Center should be just slightly jiggly (it sets as it cools).

  • If crust browns too quickly, cover edges with foil.


5️⃣ Rest & Serve

  • Let rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.

  • Serve warm or room temperature.


💡 Pro Tips

✔ Use room temperature eggs for smoother texture
✔ For ultra-creamy quiche, use all heavy cream (skip milk)
✔ Don’t overbake — that causes rubbery texture
✔ Let it rest before cutting for clean slices


🥓 Flavor Variations

  • Add crispy bacon or ham

  • Try Gruyère instead of mozzarella

  • Add caramelized onions for a French-style twist

  • Stir in roasted mushrooms
