Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions in olive oil until caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and cold cubed butter until crumbly. Add a few tablespoons of cold water and form into a dough. Roll out and press into a tart pan. Prick the base with a fork.
- Blind-bake the crust using parchment paper and pie weights for 10 minutes. Remove weights and bake for another 5 minutes.
- Spread the caramelized onions over the crust, sprinkle cheese on top, then pour in the egg mixture.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and top is golden brown.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Let the crust rest in the fridge before baking to help it hold shape.
- Use freshly grated cheese for the best texture and melt.
- Allow quiche to cool slightly before slicing for clean cuts.
