Ingredients
- Pie crust
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made or homemade
- Onion
- 1 large, thinly sliced
- Swiss cheese
- 1 cup, shredded
- Large eggs
- 4
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (for sautéing onions)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the pie crust and gently press it into a 9-inch pie dish, ensuring an even thickness along the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the layer of onions, ensuring even distribution.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the onions and cheese in the pie crust, allowing it to fill the spaces evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Once baked, allow the quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like thyme or chives into the egg mixture.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère for a nuttier flavor.
- Add cooked bacon or spinach for a heartier quiche variation.
