🥧 Slice of Quiche
A golden, flaky crust cradles a rich, savory custard made with eggs and cream, baked until silky and just set. Each slice reveals tender bites of filling — often including crisp bacon or sautéed vegetables, melted cheese, and fragrant herbs.
The top is lightly browned, with a slight jiggle in the center. The edge of the crust remains crisp and buttery, offering a satisfying contrast to the creamy interior. Best served warm or at room temperature, with a side salad or a touch of fruit.
Popular Variations for the Filling:
-
Quiche Lorraine – bacon, Swiss or Gruyère, onion
-
Spinach & Feta – fresh spinach, feta, nutmeg
-
Mushroom & Leek – earthy mushrooms, caramelized leeks, thyme
-
Tomato & Goat Cheese – cherry tomatoes, tangy chèvre, basil
Serving Suggestions:
-
Warm: Fresh out of the oven, paired with a light green salad and vinaigrette
-
Room Temp: Perfect for brunch spreads or picnics
-
Next Day: Even better after resting in the fridge, reheated gently
