- heavy cream- use this or half and half in place of the whole ilk.
- Cheese - You can add a little bit of parmesan cheeseor Gouda cheese. or a combination of either with Cheddar cheese.
Timesaving Tips and Helpful Hints
- Place quiche pie pan on a baking sheet before putting in oven to collect any spillovers
- Bake until top of the quiche is set.
- If you want to use a homemade crust you can.
- You can use aluminum foil to cover the crust edges during the last 15 minutes of baking. This prevents the crust from becoming overdone.
