• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, Gruyère, or a blend)

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Tools You’ll Need

• 9-inch pie dish
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Baking sheet

• Half-and-half can replace cream and milk

How to Make The Ultimate Quiche Recipe Step by Step

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easy handling.

Step 2: Prepare the Fillings

Cook and cool any fillings you’re using. This prevents excess moisture from affecting the custard.

Step 3: Assemble the Crust

Place the unbaked pie crust into the dish. Sprinkle the fillings evenly over the bottom, followed by the shredded cheese.

Step 4: Make the Custard

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.

Step 5: Fill the Quiche

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings. The liquid should come just below the top of the crust.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden. If the crust browns too quickly, cover the edges loosely with foil.

Step 7: Rest and Serve

Let the quiche rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes cleaner slices.
