Your Personalized Quiche

1 –pre-made pie crust
Eggs, about 4 to 6, plus 2 egg yolks
Whole milk or half-and-half
Grated cheese
Fillings
Seasonings

Cover quiche or pie pan with non-stick spray. Set dough in the bottom. Sprinkle a generous handful of cheese along the bottom. Add the fillings.

Crack eggs in a big glass measuring cup. Add enough milk to equal the same quantity. Add seasonings, but for sure a little salt and pepper. Beat with a fork to incorporate everything.

Pour the liquid custard over the filling. Top with a little more cheese.

Put pan on a cookie sheet (easier to remove the quiche later) and place on the very bottom rack of a 450-degree oven for 10 minutes. (This sets the bottom crust and keeps it from getting soggy.)

Reduce oven temp to 325 and let bake for about 40 minutes to an hour, or until a knife in its center will come away without wet batter.

Note: To keep the quiche top from getting too brown, sometimes I’ll set a cookie sheet on the rack directly above the quiche.

That’s it. Enjoy. Let me know how it turns out.
