And that structured, buttery crust playing off a sublime, silky, rich filling is where the magic happens. This page outlines how to bake a phenomenal quiche by incorporating my favorite tips. It also calls out a few pitfalls that are easy to avoid. Let\u2019s bake a quiche!<span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-1.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"a wedge of quiche on a piece of parchment paper with a deep-dish golden crust\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">This Quiche: Let\u2019s Talk it Through<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">This quiche is baked in a 9-inch springform pan. It allows you to achieve a deep dish version that sits high and proud on any table. If you don\u2019t have a springform pan, you can adjust to an equivalent deep dish pie pan if you keep an eye on and adjust the timing if needed. The filling here is made with a blend of whole milk and either sour cream or <span class=\"s1\">cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche<\/span> plus eggs and a bit of flour. The result? Something decadent, buttery smooth and wildly delicious. Arguably better than the more typical heavy cream version.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When it comes to additional ingredients, there\u2019s no need to add cheese here. Unless, of course, you can\u2019t help yourself. In that case, go ahead and grate some in. I typically add some sort of well-chopped hearty green (kale, Swiss chard, etc.), plus whatever is seasonal. You see oven roasted tomatoes here, along with chopped Serrano chile and red chile flakes. Play around with your add-ins after you read the section below about how to avoid a watery quiche.<span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-2.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"a tall wedge of quiche with a golden crust on a brown plate\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">How to Make Quiche<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The steps to making a quiche are straight-forward. But, like most baking, the difference between a good quiche and one that is truly memorable is in the details. Let\u2019s start with the basics. They go something like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\">Make the dough for the crust. I use this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/flaky-pie-crust\/\">pie crust recipe<\/a> and it delivers every time.\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-7.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"quiche crust after blond baking with pie weights filling the pan\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Blind bake the dough for the quiche crust.<br \/><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial;font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-9.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"preparing a quiche crust with a thin layer of mustard before filling and baking\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Prepare the quiche filling.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Fill the pre-baked crust and bake quiche.<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial;font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-10.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"a quiche after baking in a 9-inch springform pan\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">Allow to cool and set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">The Details That Make a Difference<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Here are a couple things to focus on if you want to bake an exceptional quiche.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Thicker crust<\/strong>: Establishing a great crust is everything in the quiche realm. This is a crust that has to put in a good amount of work &#8211; especially when going the deep dish route like we are here. It should be flaky and structural at the same time. And, of course it needs to be beautiful and delicious. If you\u2019re going to the effort to make quiche, go the distance and make your own crust. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/flaky-pie-crust\/\">pie dough<\/a> is simple to work with (I promise!), and it can handle every job this deep dish quiche throws at it. Roll it out a tad bit thicker than you normally would for a standard pie if possible, and absolutely use it all. Confidently press any overhang or extra pieces into the walls of your pan.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Add flour to your filling<\/strong>: Adding a bit of flour to your quiche filling helps absorb moisture and stabilize things in general. I like to use the method <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lizprueitt_tartine\/\">Liz Prueitt<\/a> writes about in <em>Tartine<\/em> (2006 edition). Whisk flour into one of the eggs, add more eggs gradually from there, and then strain the mixture into your liquid dairy ingredients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-3.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"a wedge of quiche with spinach and roasted tomatoes\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">How To Avoid Watery Quiche<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">A major quiche pitfall, there are a few key ways to avoid baking a watery quiche. The first, avoid the addition of water-filled ingredients. For example, raw mushrooms will release their water into your filling resulting in a watery quiche. The better option is to cook or roast as much water as possible from any quiche add-ins. Blot more with a clean towel or paper towels before incorporating. So, you want deeply roasted mushrooms versus raw. The quiche recipe below features roasted cherry tomatoes, not raw. The liquid bakes out and you\u2019re left with a concentrated ingredient. The second technique is to add a bit of flour to your custard mixture. The flour will help with absorption and stabilize the filling in general. Lastly, bake it low and slow, opting for a lower temperature for longer time.<span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-4.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"A quiche on a marble counter alongside a wedge of quiche on a plate with a fork\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">What Temperature to Bake a Quiche?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">You\u2019ll see a wide range of baking temperatures used to bake quiche. I subscribe to the slow and low school of quiche baking. I find it lends a creamy texture you don\u2019t get at higher temperatures. We\u2019re after silky smooth with no eggy curds. This requires a longer baking time, but it\u2019s worth it. I like a rustic vibe as well, so I\u2019ll often finish with a quick flash of the broiler. Really quick, just a few seconds!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Variations:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Gruyere &amp; Roasted Broccoli Quiche<\/strong>: Toss a couple handfuls of small broccoli florets in a bit of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast in a 375<span class=\"s1\">\u00b0<\/span>F oven until golden. Allow to cool completely. Stir the broccoli and 1\/2 cup grated gruyere into the quiche filling and proceed with the recipe.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><strong>Roasted Winter Squash &amp; Caramelized Shallot Quiche<\/strong>: Toss your favorite winter squash (cut into 3\/4-inch cubes) and wedges of shallots (or small red onions) in a bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in a 375<span class=\"s1\" style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial;font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif\">\u00b0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: revert;color: initial;font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif\">F oven until deeply golden and caramelized. Allow to cool completely. Stir into the filling and proceed with the recipe.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/quiche-recipe-5a.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"a quiche sliced into wedges on a sheet of parchment paper\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Make Ahead &amp; Freezing Instructions<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>To Make Ahead<\/strong>: To bake the quiche up to two days ahead here\u2019s what you do. After baking the quiche and removing it from the pan, allow to cool completely. Carefully wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. When ready, if you\u2019re opting to serve at room-temperature, allow the quiche to come up to temperature a couple hours prior to serving. Or, you can serve the quiche warm. Reheat in a 350<span class=\"s1\">\u00b0<\/span><span class=\"s2\">F oven for 15 minutes or so wrapped in foil, until the center of the quiche is warm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><strong>To Freeze<\/strong>: Allow quiche to cool completely after baking. Wrap in a snug layer of plastic wrap followed by a layer or aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Two days before you\u2019re ready to serve allow the quiche to thaw in the refrigerator.
