This Cheese Quiche uses Swiss Cheese to make the famous Quiche au Fromage de Gruyere in French – one of the recipes that I’ve made in the French quiches series. It is very simple and is just perfect if you are a cheese fan.
The instructions are similar to the Cream and Bacon Quiche recipe, but this time I stirred around 4 ounces of grated Swiss cheese into the egg and cream mixture. I also added a little bit of milk.
A quiche is a French tart or pie that is straight sided and open faced.
Quiches are usually a mixture of cream and bacon, cheese and milk, tomatoes and onions, shrimp, crabs or anything else combined with eggs, poured into a pastry shell and baked in an oven until they puff and brown.
But we are focusing on cheese this time. 😉
Absolutely. Instead of Swiss cheese, you can use cheddar, mozzarella or your favorite cheese really. This quiche is amazing either way.
