Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup half and half

Seasoning & Cheese

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2/3 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Whisk: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add the whole milk and half and half. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  2. Stir in Cheese & Seasoning: Add the grated cheese (your choice of cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella), Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture. Stir gently but well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Prepare the Pan: Butter a 9-inch round baking pan to prevent sticking and pour the egg and cheese mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake the Quiche: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the center is fully set and the top is lightly golden. To test doneness, gently shake the pan; the quiche should be firm and not jiggly in the center.
  5. Cool & Serve: Let the quiche cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can customize the cheese blend depending on your preference—try mixing cheddar and Swiss for a sharper flavor or mozzarella for a milder taste.
  • Feel free to add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or onions if you want to increase nutrition and flavor.
  • Butter the pan thoroughly to ensure easy removal of the quiche once baked.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free as it contains no crust.
