Cheese quiche
A quiche is a savory custard tart typically filled with egg, cheese, and meat. The word quiche is derived from the German word Kuchen, which means cake. Quiche recipes first appeared in print in an 1874 German cookbook. It wasn't until the 1930s that quiche gained popularity in the United States.
Cheese is a key ingredient in quiche and there are many different types that can be used. Common varieties include Swiss, cheddar, Gruyere, and feta. For a truly unique quiche, try a blend of different cheeses.
Quiche is often served for brunch or as a light lunch or dinner. It can be made ahead of time and reheated, making it a great option for busy weeknights. Serve quiche with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Advice
When making cheese quiche, it's important to use a good quality crust. A store-bought crust is fine, but a homemade crust will take the quiche to the next level. Be sure to pre-bake the crust before adding the filling to ensure that it cooks evenly. For the filling, you can use any combination of cheese, eggs, and cream that you like. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors! Finally, be sure to bake the quiche in the oven until the center is set and the edges are golden brown. Enjoy!
