How to Make a Great Quiche (So Any of These Recipes Turn Out Perfect)
Base: Quiche is built on a simple base: eggs and dairy baked gently into a custard. For each large egg, add enough milk or cream to reach about ½ cup total liquid. This creates a balanced filling that sets without becoming rubbery.
Cheese: Traditionally and according to Larousse Gastronomique, the original Quiche Lorraine doesn't have any cheese. Modern versions often do, and that's perfectly fine. Cheddar, Gruyere, and Parmesan are some of my favorite types of cheese used in baking. Monterey, Fontina, Mozzarella, Swiss or even Brie are perfect as well.
Don't throw out good but dried-out cheese! Grate it in a food processor, bag it, and use it as the base of a wonderful quiche.
Crust or Crustless
A classic quiche uses a pastry crust. A crustless quiche skips the shell and bakes just as well, making it ideal for lower-carb meals or quick preparation. Both are legitimate. Choose based on time and preference.
Mastering pie crust dough and puff pastry really makes one feel like a cook. Thanks to the food processor and heavy-duty mixers, it is easy to make a pie crust or a pastry shell for your recipes in less than 5 minutes today.
Using Leftovers in Quiche
Quiche is one of the best ways to use what's already in your refrigerator. Cooked vegetables, roasted meats, sautéed mushrooms, smoked salmon, or even small amounts of seafood can become filling. Just make sure watery vegetables are cooked first to prevent a soggy texture.
How To Store And Reheat Quiche
Refrigerate leftovers in slices for easy meals. To reheat, bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes. Quiche is also excellent cold.

I love a good quiche and they really aren't that hard. Thanks for all the fun new recipes to try. I think I will try that mushroom and broccoli one first!
