Tips & Tricks (5)
- Blind Bake for Crispy Crust 🥧Pre-bake the frozen pie shell for 10 minutes at 375°F to prevent a soggy bottom and ensure a perfectly crisp crust for your quiche.
- Cheese Blend Magic 🧀Combine cheddar and swiss cheeses to create a more complex, layered flavor profile that elevates the entire quiche.
- Custard Consistency Trick 🥚Whisk the eggs, milk, and heavy cream thoroughly and strain the mixture to ensure a silky-smooth, lump-free custard base.
- Ham Selection Secret 🍖Use high-quality, slightly smoky diced ham and lightly sauté it before adding to the quiche to intensify its flavor and remove excess moisture.
- Perfect Baking Technique 🌡️Bake the quiche in the lower third of the oven at 375°F and watch for a slight jiggle in the center - it will continue setting as it cools.
