Quiche is a cook's secret weapon: It feels fancy, but is inexpensive; can be eaten cold, room-temperature or hot; and can be served practically any time of day. Keep this versatile recipe on hand, adding bits of whatever leftover vegetables and cooked proteins you like.



RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 refrigerated rolled pie crust

  • 2 tsp olive oil

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • Kosher salt and pepper

  • 3/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

  • 4 large eggs

  • 3/4 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup whole milk

  • 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (optional)

  • 4 oz Gruyère or Swiss cheese, grated (1 cup)


RECIPE PREPARATION:

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Fit the pie crust into and up the sides of a pie plate; fold the edge of dough underneath itself to create a thicker 1/2-in. border that rests on the lip of the plate and crimp as desired. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove and reduce oven heat to 375°F.

2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the parsley and remove from heat.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper, and nutmeg, if using. Gently stir in the onion mixture and Gruyère.

4. Pour the egg mixture into the crust. Bake until just set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
