Description

Kate Lamandre's quiche — a pre-baked pie shell filled with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, sautéed onions and celery, parsley, and cayenne, bound with a custard of beaten eggs and evaporated milk, and baked at 375°F for 30–45 minutes until the center is firm. A versatile, crowd-pleasing main that works for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

Note

The quiche is done when the center is just barely set and has only a slight jiggle when nudged. It will continue to firm as it cools — remove it before it looks completely done.
