My mother Shelly Rice created the ultimate Basic Quiche recipe . . . almost anything can be added to make this basic quiche conform to your tastes, or it can be left plain for those with simple tastes.

  • IT WAS VERY GOOD.

    15 MINUTES, REDUCE HEAT, THEN 25 MINUTES NOT FEASIBLE. MY COOKING TIME WAS THE 15 MINUTES, TURN OVEN OFF AND LET SET IN OVEN ABOUT 5 MINUTES OR SO.
    VERY NICE TEXTURE.

  • My recipe - less cream

    I've found that any quiche recipe is better if you stick with roughly 1/4 cup dairy to 1 egg.

    Toss the shredded cheese with a bit of flour to keep the cheese from clumping.

    Prebake the crust.

    Sautee the bacon and onion together and place in the crust before any liquid. It keeps the bottom crust from getting soggy.

  • A good start but better modified

    I made the recipe as directed and it took very long to cook and was kind of wet -- not firm like a quiche should really be. I cut the half and half to 1 cup and added two more eggs and it came out perfect.
