Basic Quiche
Petrina Tinslay
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 375° F. Fit the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir in the onion mixture and the Gruyère.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the crust. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes. Drizzle the greens with the remaining tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the quiche.

This was delish!!! I had never made quiche before and my husband actually liked it. I made it with caramelized onions, ham, smoked Gruyere cheese, and spinach. LOVED this recipe!! Making it for work tomorrow.

This is a great basic recipe. I made mine with butternut squash, caramelized onions, and goat cheese... The proportions and timing were perfect.

This was delicious. Didn't change anything and made the basic one. Only problem: unrolling the piecrust. It fell apart and I had to press it together again. Next time I'll probably use those already unrolled!

First time making this and it needs a few tweaks. First, too oniony. Cut onion in half. Also 8 ounce of grated cheese is too much, cut by 1/3 or more. Added more parsley for a better color distribution which was appropriate. Maybe next time it will be more spongy and I will be able to taste the eggs. Needs the saltiness of sausage or ham. Follow directions by putting on a baking sheet, since the egg did spill over and make a mess..luckily it was easy clean up since caught by the sheet.

This is the only quiche I have had success with. It's simple to make, has great flavor. I add ham to it. I serve it with a salad and everyone loves it! It's a winner.

Very easy to make. My preschooler helped me make this dish. Family approved. See pictures here: http://mylovelylist.blogspot.com/2012/01/basic-quiche.html

This is the best recipe for quiche that I've come across. We add ham, and it gives it a much-needed saltiness. Make sure if you add ham that you cook it in a deep-dish pie dish - otherwise, it'll spill out onto the bottom of your oven.

I have made it on several occasions and my family and guests love it! I have had many requests for the recipe. I have also made it with ham and spinach -------Delicious!! I'd certainly refer to it as a "winner".

I slim quiche down for everyday fare by using 4 large eggs and 1C skim milk, and 1C lo-fat cheese. Another good add-in is drained diced tomatoes - revs it up for something different.
