A delicious brunch idea that's both elegant and satisfying, this savory pie encapsulates the essence of French cuisine, blending creamy, rich cheeses with a velvety egg filling, all nestled within a flaky crust.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pre-made puff pastry or homemade quiche crust (about 9 inches in diameter)
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
½ teaspoon dried thyme (or herbs of your choice)
1 cup fresh spinach, sautéed (optional)
¼ cup chopped onions or leeks (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using homemade dough, roll out your crust and place it in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess edges.
Place the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it’s just starting to set but not browned.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until fully combined.
Fold in the cheddar, mozzarella, and feta cheeses into the egg mixture.
If using, mix in the sautéed spinach and onions.
Carefully pour the egg and cheese mixture into the prepared crust.
Bake in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
