Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp each dried basil, dried parsley, paprika, ground mustard, salt, pepper
- 4 dashes hot sauce
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, halved, then thinly sliced
- 2 oz. (½ packed cup) freshly shredded gruyere cheese, divided
- 2 oz. (½ packed cup) freshly shredded smoked gouda cheese (may sub cheddar), divided
- 2 cups mix-ins of choice (after cooking; suggested below):
- 3/4 cup sweet potatoes, peeled, chopped into ½” chunks
- 2 oz (1 cup) chopped broccoli (about 1-inch pieces)
- 1/2 cup chopped ham
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" deep dish pie pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, place the chopped sweet potatoes and add water to reach 1/8" up the sides. Cover and microwave for 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolk until lightly beaten. Add the heavy cream and spices and whisk gently.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions for 4 minutes, then add the broccoli and cook for 3 minutes, adding oil as needed. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds.
- Transfer the cooked vegetables to the pie dish, spreading them evenly. Layer the ham and sweet potatoes on top, then sprinkle with ½ cup of the cheeses. Pour the egg mixture over everything, pressing down the vegetables if needed. Top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes at 350°F, until the cheese is melted and the center barely jiggles. Avoid overbaking for a creamier quiche.
- Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
Feel free to customize your mix-ins based on your favorite vegetables or what you have on hand.
