Quiche--what I am doing wrong???

[arabianequine]

Ive never added milk of any kind and you gotta have crust.

Actually, the Impossibly quiche is Impossibly EASY pie (very important word left out there). I think the recipe is on the Bisquick box.

I am a former restaurant owner. We served quiches every day...different kinds all the time. Here is the recipe we used and some suggestions for different kinds of quiches. They are all easy and they are all yummy. Try one and let me know how you like them.

Thanks for posting those. Can you give a ball park figure on how long you cooked these?

 

[ImStillMags]

Baking time varies with the fillings but usually 45 minutes or so till the quiche starts to 'poof' up and the top gets golden.

I got it! It was not using any of the heavy cream that was screwing it up!

I made these two yesterday morning for my birthday breakfast! They had sausage, green chiles and sharp cheddar in them! Oh and fresh eggs from my Light Sussex, Sumatras and GL Cochins!

Beautiful pictures.....but how did they taste?

Can you share your exact recipe with us?

By the way, I have started making pie crust from scratch again. Years&years ago I was a baker for a vegetarian restaurant and would make 9 pies each morning using butter & flour. They were always light & flaky, but years&years later when I tried again, I had lost my touch. I was using the boxed ready-made crusts instead, until I was given this recipe:

1 Cup + 2 T flour
1/2 t salt
1/3 Cup oil (I use extra-light tasting olive oil, you could use veg)
2 T water

I pre-measure the ingredients and stick them in the refrigerator or freezer for a while to make them cold before mixing. Mix the flour & salt together, cut the oil in with a pastry blender, then add the water.

I've tried other recipes for oil & flour crusts but this one gives me the best results. Thank you Amy's Mom!
