Soft Homemade Quiche
Chef Yang Hee-kyung’s Special Recipe: A Delicious Baked Quiche with Vegetables and Eggs
Inspired by Chef Yang Hee-kyung’s quiche recipe seen on TV the day before Thanksgiving, this is a guide to easily making it at home. Quiche is a French egg dish baked in a tart-like form. Chef Yang Hee-kyung opts for a softer texture by omitting the crust. This recipe simplifies the process, making it lighter for home cooks. Baked in the oven, it becomes delightfully golden and creamy. Let’s create this visually appealing and delicious quiche together!
Ingredients- 1 Onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 Carrot, thinly sliced
- 3 Shiitake Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 large handful Spinach
- 3 Eggs
- 200g Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- Generous amount of Cheddar Cheese (to taste)
- Generous amount of Parmesan Cheese (to taste)
- Butter (a little)
- Olive Oil (a little)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Lightly grease a pan with butter and olive oil. Add the prepared onion, carrot, shiitake mushrooms, and spinach, and sauté over medium heat. (You can use either butter or olive oil, or skip one.) Cook until the vegetables are slightly softened and fragrant, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper as you go. While the vegetables are cooking, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 3 eggs and add the 200g of heavy cream for a richer, smoother texture.
Step 3
Whisk the eggs and cream together thoroughly using a whisk or fork until well combined and smooth. Avoid creating too much foam; aim for a uniform, creamy mixture.
Step 4
Pour the sautéed vegetables into your preheated oven-safe dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom. Carefully pour the whisked egg and cream mixture over the vegetables, ensuring they are covered.
Step 5
While delicious on its own, for an extra cheesy layer, sprinkle a generous amount of cheddar and parmesan cheese over the top. This will add a wonderful depth of flavor and a beautiful golden crust.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a skewer; it should come out clean. Your incredibly soft quiche will be ready!
Step 7
This quiche not only tastes fantastic but also fills your dining table with its rich, savory aroma. Enjoy it warm right out of the oven, or let it cool slightly. Enjoy your meal! ^^
