BETH’S FOOLPROOF QUICHE RECIPE
Serves 8

Fits a Quiche Pan 8 in x 1 ¾” (20,3 cm x 4,5 cm) removable bottom is best. See shopping guide above for the pan I like best.

For Crust:
1 ¼ cups (150 g) flour
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt
½ cup (150 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 egg
2 tbsp (30 ml) ice water

For Filling:
1 tbsp (15 g) butter
½ cup (75 g) yellow onion, diced
good Pinch of salt
crackled pepper to taste
10 eggs
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
Cracked pepper to taste
1/8 tsp (1.75 ml) cayenne pepper for spice or 1/8 tsp (1.75 ml) nutmeg for a more mellow flavor
½ cup (60 g) Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 6 0z (170 g) bag baby spinach

METHOD:

TIP#1: Upgrade from a tart pan to a deep dish Quiche pan. It will send this meal over the top! So elegant and delicious. Make sure it’s a removable bottom pan.

TIP#2: If you don’t have a tart pan or a food processor buy a ready made deep dish pie crust, this will work too. Crimp the edges decoratively to look “homemade”

To make the crust:

Combine flour and salt in a food processor and pulse. Cut butter into small cubes and add to food processor and pulse.

Combine eggs with ice water, add to food processor, pulsing until a dough forms. Remove dough and roll into a ball on a floured surface.

TIP#3: Don’t Blind Bake
Roll the dough out right away and fit into the bottom of the pan, letting the sides flop over. Fit the bottom and sides, and then using back of palm fit into corners. Cut excess off the top so that dough is flush.

TIP#4: Place pan in the freezer for at least 20 mins, longer is fine too. Dough should not bend to the touch.

Meanwhile prepare the filling. Melt the butter in a sautee pan. Add onion and sautee until soft. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. And spinach and cook until wilted and reduced in size to about 1 cup.

Crack 10 eggs in a large bowl, whisk together, add the heavy cream and whisk. Then add salt, pepper and cayenne. Whisk to combine.

Remove spinach mixture from the pan and give it a rough chop, add to the egg mixture. Add the cheese and mix to combine.

Remove tart pan from freezer and place on a rimmed cookie sheet. Pour filling on top. Place in a 350 degree F oven for 45-50 mins or until golden brown and set (Quiche should not wiggle)

Allow to cool slightly and serve with a tossed green salad.

NOTE: This can be baked the day before. Allow to cool completely cover with foil and pop in fridge over night. To Reheat keep quiche covered with foil and reheat in a 300 degree F oven for 20 mins. Remove foil and bake 5 mins more. Enjoy!

    Hi beth, thanks for all the fabulous recipes. I love quiche so much that I
    decided to try it anyway (but following another recipe for more heartier
    option). I’m using the pan with a removable bottom. My quiche turned out to
    be a total mess, the liquid in mixture leaked everywhere in the baking
    sheet. My crust wasn’t broken, it just leaked from the gap around the pan.
    I don’t know how that happened. Any clue?
