Making ham and cheese quiche

We like to bake the pie crust before baking the ham and cheese quiche.

Want to know what blind baking is? When the pie or pie filling is very wet, the pie must be pre-baked before filling. This technique is called “blind baking”, and it prevents the shell from getting wet. Pre-baking the pie crust for the quiche can be helpful because the custard filling is liquid in its original state.

How to blind bake pie crusts: For the quiche, you only need to partially bake the crust, because it will be baked when it is put back into the oven with the filling.

1. After placing the pie crust on the pie pan, cover the pie crust with parchment paper.
2. Fill the bottom with baking weight (you can also use beans or rice) and bake for 10 minutes.
3. Remove the weight and parchment paper. Return the crust to the oven and bake for another 7-8 minutes.

filling. Once the crust is blind baked, make the filling. In a medium mixing bowl, add milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Mix everything together, then pour the crust over the ham and cheese.

bake. Bake the quiche in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes. Insert a knife and see if it is clean-then the quiche is ready! Make sure to let the quiche set for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

Want to make this in advance? Bake the ham and cheese quiche, refrigerate or freeze until you need it. Make sure to seal it well. It will be stored in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days and in the refrigerator for 3-4 months for best results. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.

Notes and tips

What to add to the egg pancake: Less is more definitely suitable for adding extra content to your quiche. The star of the quiche should always be a fluffy egg mixture. A good rule of thumb is to add only 1/4 cup of the mixture to each egg. That being said, here are some delicious combinations of ideas:

• Add meat: You can replace the ham with a different meat, or add more meat at the same time as the ham. Some good options are to put pieces of bacon on top or mix them with cooked sausages.
• Change the cheese with pepper or Swiss cheese
• Vegetables: Diced green peppers, sliced ​​mushrooms, chopped spinach, and broccoli florets are all good choices. *When adding liquid vegetables, sauté them first to remove the liquid.
• Milk: Use 2% or whole milk to get the lightest quiche.For creamier quiches, use half or heavy cream.

recipe Tip

• Use pre-purchased diced ham or leftover holiday ham.
• French salty pie? Just spray a pan and pour the quiche liquid directly into the pan.
• Don’t overfill the shell: the egg will rise a little bit, and you don’t want it to overflow from the side.
• Bake on the bottom grill of the oven to help the crust become beautifully browned and crispy.
• Regardless of the size of the quiche, for each egg used, the ratio should be ¼-½ cup of dairy product. For deeper pans or mini quiches, this is good information.
