Quiche anyone?

Doesn't it need potatoes too?

That's a tortilla

Depending on how you like the crust I usually brush mine with egg and bake it prior to adding the filling to prevent soggy.

I just prebake the crust. Never soggy.

It was the last syllable of his word that made me think he needed potatoes.

I'd like to make a quiche, do I need a special pan or whatever?

Puggles, if you don't have a pie pan, just buy a frozen pie shell in a foil pan from the grocery store. I recommend Marie Callander. If I'm short on time and/or taking my pie or whatever somewhere else and don't want to worry about bringing my pan home, that's what I do. I own several pie pans and had plenty of time so no trouble to make my own crust this time.

Always!

Anything shallowish that you can put pastry crust into. Basically an egg tart. I like fluted edges because looks nice but matters not.

If you've never made quiche, a traditional or classic quiche Lorraine is a lovely choice and a good place to start - this from Saveur mag via Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking with good notes
Quiche Lorraine

Our favorite is a Lorraine plus. First had it at Walt Disney World in the castle restaurant at lunch. Same ingredients as a Lorraine, but also cubed ham and onions sauteed in the bacon grease, then drained. Sometimes, I add lightly steamed spinach, squeezed dry. Craig actually mentioned having this a few days ago.

Oh noe, I got moderated moderately. Can I take pizza to my room?

You (personally) didn't get moderated. 36 posts got moved to a new thread! No problem. Its all positive as we got a new thread.

I've made many quiches over the years. I'll put a few links into this thread. In the UK we call a quiche without a pastry case 'a crustless quiche'.

I was really happy with this one, particularly as I grew the tomatoes myself:

That looks really good. Excellent job!

I'm pretty sure that the classic, French, quiche lorraine only has bacon and shallots/onions, with a creamy egg custard, all encased in delicious pastry.
My bro, who was a pro chef for over 35 years, made me a quiche when I was in the UK in 2022 - 1 pint of milk and 4 eggs into the pastry. It was creamy, luscious and quite unlike anything I'd tasted.
I like cheese in my quiche, but it might be bit, or a lot. I use a pie dish, like Barriehie. Line the dish with pastry and then blind bake for 15 minutes.
After that, I dump in the ingredients; usually vegetables , maybe bacon or ham, and some cheese. 3 eggs with milk and a bit of cream. Bake for about 35 minutes.

And I checked larousse and karadekoolaid is correct.
The original quiche loraine has no cheese, was made with bread dough and contained lightly salted belly pork, eggs, cream, nutmeg, pepper and salt (roughly quoted from larousse)
