Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

Notes

Sauté Onions and Garlic First: Begin by gently sautéing the onions and garlic until they become soft and translucent. This step is crucial for developing a deeper, more complex flavor in your quiche.
Thorough Whisking of Eggs: It's essential to whisk the eggs thoroughly. This ensures a smooth and even consistency in your custard, contributing to the perfect texture of your quiche.
Perfect Baking Technique: Bake your quiche until the center is set and the top is slightly golden. A slight jiggle in the middle is a good indicator that it's done, as it will continue to cook with the residual heat once out of the oven.
Proper Cooling: After baking, allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before serving. This resting period helps the quiche to set properly, ensuring it holds its shape and enhances the overall texture.
