Quiche is custard made luscious with the addition of cheeses and veggies. Traditionally, the crust is homemade but frozen pre-made crusts shorten prep time. Quiches can be made exactly to suit your family or guests for any meal, and even made ahead. Three general rules: 1) One-part egg to two parts liquid dairy. (IE: 2 large eggs + 1 cup of milk) 2) Always beat the mixture until fluffy. 3) All veggies (just 1-2) must be cooked or/and dry.
