Basic Quiche
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups Half & Half
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash Pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
6 ounces shredded cheese
1 9-inch pie crust
Preheat oven to 425 F. Mix together eggs, Half & Half, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Layer cheese in bottom of pie crust, pour egg mixture over (do this on the oven shelf so you don't have to try to carry it). Bake for 15 minutes, lower the heat to 350 F and bake for 25 minutes. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Additions:
If you are going to add other ingredients, veggies and or meat, reduce the eggs to three and only use 1 1/2 cups of half and half. Steam or saute chopped veggies, precook any chopped meat used. Layer on top of the cheese that you choose.
Asparagus
Tomatoes (don't cook)
Leeks
Onions
Potato
Green Chilies
Broccoli
Spinach
Any vegetable can be used, match with your favorite cheese. I've had a very good chorizo, green chile and Monterrey Jack cheese quiche.
Gluten-Free Nut Crust
2 cups fine crushed roasted nuts, you can use smoked almond, anything you like.
6 Tablespoons butter, melted
Mix together, press into bottom of 9-inch pie tin and up the sides. Use to make quiche.
