Ingredients

1 Pie Crust homemade or store-bought
6 large Eggs
2 cups Heavy Cream
1 cup Whole Milk
1½ teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Prepare your pie crust according to recipe directions or line a pie dish with a store-bought pie crust.
Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt and pepper together in a large bowl.
(If adding any meats or vegetables make sure to brown or saute them in a skillet before adding them to the egg mixture).
Pour the egg mixture into the pie crust and bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the center is set. If the crust edges begin to brown use a pie shield or foil wrapped around the edge. Let the quiche sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
