Best Moms Quiche Recipes

THE BEST CLASSIC QUICHE

Steps:

• If using a refrigerated pie sheet or homemade pie crust, roll out pastry dough into a 1/4 inch thick circle and place it into a 9-inch pie pan or 9-inch deep-dish tart pan. Trim off excess pie dough and crimp edges using your fingers. Place pie dough into the freezer for 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• If using a refrigerated pie sheet or homemade pie crust, line the crust with parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until lightly golden and set, 15 minutes. Remove pie weights and continue baking until the bottom crust is golden, 5 to 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly.
• If using a frozen-ready to bake pie crust, bake from frozen for 10 minutes at 375 degrees F, before filling with the egg mixture. Let cool slightly.
• Once the pie crust has been baked, whisk or blend together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and onion powder until light and fluffy. Gently tap out excess air bubbles.
• Sprinkle the desired 2 cups of fillings evenly over the cooled crust. Pour the egg mixture over the pie crust. Top with additional cheese if desired.
• Bake quiche at 375 degrees until eggs are set, about 35-40 minutes, checking on pie crust after 25 minutes, and covering the crust with pie shields or foil to prevent overbrowning. The quiche is done when the edges are set, but the center wiggles slightly.
• Let quiche cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and enjoying.

MOM'S TUNA QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Wash and chop mushrooms or use pre-sliced. Sautee in butter until moisture is removed.
• 2. While mushrooms are cooking, chop scallions, grate cheese and drain tuna
• 3. Place one (uncooked) pie crust in a deep-dish pie plate. Top with tuna, cheese, sautéed mushrooms and scallions.
• 4. Beat together eggs, milk and seasonings and pour on top of tuna mixture. (You can add a sprinkle more of cheese on top if you like.) Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. You can protect the crust edges with foil, but I have found that I don't need to. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
