    bake quiche

    1. 1.Pour the egg and cream custard over the fillings until it reaches just below the crust line.
    2. 2.Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
    3. 3.Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

    Plating

    • Allow the quiche to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to ensure the custard sets.
    • Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Sensory Checks

    Color

    The center should have a slight jiggle but not be liquid when shaken gently.

    Color

    The crust should be pale gold and the cheese topping should be bubbling and browned.

    Common Errors

    • Not squeezing the spinach dry enough, which leads to a watery quiche.
    • Overbaking, which can cause the eggs to curdle and release water.

    Notes

    • This recipe is highly adaptable; you can substitute feta with goat cheese or add sautéed onions for more depth.
