About recipe

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.

What Is Quiche?

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. 😉

Can I Use Other Cheese Types?

Absolutely. Instead of Swiss cheese, you can use cheddar, mozzarella or your favorite cheese really. This quiche is amazing either way.

6 Done 25-30 min	Bake Place the quiche onto a top part of the preheated oven and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes. The quiche will become puffed and browned.
7 Done	Serve Your Cheese Quiche is ready. Serve with a bit of the chopped spring onion on the side and enjoy!
