This is a crowd pleaser, always impressive for how easy it is, and a great anytime meal. Also, it's great hot or cold!
Pate Brisee or frozen pie crust (defrosted)
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt & Pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 375
Prepare the crust in its pie/quiche dish (if using homemade Pate Brisee, blind bake for about 10 minutes so that the bottom of the crust cooks through a bit)
Whisk the eggs and the cream together
Add salt and pepper
Bake for 45 minutes or until top is golden brown and toothpick comes out clean
That's it! No Foolin! My favorite add-ins are Sauteed Shitake Mushrooms (about 15 or so, they shrink a bit when cooked), a cup and half of grated Jarlsberg, and diced ham. Just put the add-ins in the pie shell first and add the egg mixture.
Other add-ins: broccoli, salmon, bacon, any kind of cheese, any kind of mushroom, shrimp, steak, ground beef... the options are endless. Just remember raw ingredients won't necessarily cook in the quiche, so it's best to cook things first, then bake.
