Ingredients
6 large eggs
⅔ cup whole milk
¼ cup half-and-half
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
Pinch ground nutmeg optional
1 ½ cups mix-ins of choice
⅔ cup grated Gruyère cheese or swap fontina, sharp cheddar, or smoked mozzarella
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Mix-Ins:
Cooked crumbled bacon
Chopped and sautéed broccoli
Caramelized onions
Cubed leftover ham
Roasted vegetables roughly chopped
Directions
Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a deep 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray.
Prepare any mix-ins.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, salt, pepper, mustard, and nutmeg.
Scatter the mix-ins evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
Sprinkle the cheese on top.
Carefully pour the egg mixture into the dish. Place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the chives over the top.
Bake the quiche on the baking sheet until the center is set, about 35 minutes. It should look puffed and golden at the edges, and when a thin, sharp knife is inserted in the center, the center should be cooked through without visible liquid. Let cool a few minutes. Cut into big wedges. Enjoy warm.
