I decided to try all French original quiches from the “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. So today I will cook the Camembert Quiche or Quiche au Camembert. The steps of making the pastry is the same as in other quiche recipes, so once you master them, you will be able to make any quiche that you want.
A quiche is a French tart or pie that is straight-sided and open-faced. It is a mixture of either cream and bacon, cheese and milk, tomatoes and onions, prawns, crabs or anything else combined with eggs, poured into a pastry shell and baked in an oven until it puffs and browns.
But we are focusing on camembert cheese this time.
Well, you could use Swiss cheese, cheddar, mozzarella or your favorite cheese, but it wouldn’t be Camembert Quiche then, right? So if you’d like to make a quiche with another cheese type, check out my Cheese Quiche recipe. You will love it.

Can I use a frozen pie shell instead of shell from scrap?
Yes, Teresa – definitely. Just wait for the pie shell to completely unfreeze first before continuing with the other recipe steps. Enjoy!
