My favourite quiche recipe, its super simple and really tastes exceptional. You can use the mix for any quiche recipe and then add whatever add ons you want.
Jump to RecipeI always use puff pastry for the crust because it just tastes much better and has that flaky buttery texture. Blind baking the crust is a must, or else you will end up with an overly cooked filling and a soggy crust. If you don’t have any ceramic baking beads you can use any dried bean you have (chickpeas etc)
