Recipe
Quiche au Camembert or Camembert Cheese Quiche
I decided to try all French original quiches from the “Mastering the Art of French Cooking”. So today I will cook the Quiche au Camembert or Camembert Cheese Quiche which will become one of the fundamental recipes as many other quiches will repeat the steps described in this recipe.
What Is a Quiche?
A quiche is a French tart or pie that is straight sided and open faced. A quiche is a mixture of 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.
Sounds yum to me! 😋

Is this recipe correct? You have stated one egg in ingredients listbut, “eggs” in method?
Thank you for your question, Gael. I have fixed the ingredients, it should be two eggs. 🙂
I remember having this every other week after work. Fantastic quiche!
Where’s the recipe???
Hi Susan, thank you for your message. I’ve double-checked, and you should be able to see it right above these comments. Could you please describe the issue that you are experiencing?
I can’t find the recipe. There are only the steps…
Hi Christina, thank you for your message. If you are viewing on mobile, there was an expandable tab right under the photos, called “Ingredients”. I am saying “was” because I’ve just changed it to be expanded by default, so hopefully, when you refresh the page, you will be able to see it straight away. If the phone shows you a cached version, please tap on the word “Ingredients” and it will expand to show the ingredients. And if you are viewing on a desktop, please refer to the left side of the recipe – you will find the ingredients there. Thank you and please let me know how everything goes! 🙂
I can see the recipe now. Thanks!
Wonderful, thank you for confirming and bon appétit! 🙂
