Instructions

Prepare the Pie Crust:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the pie crust in a pie dish and pre-bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheese, fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper.
Assemble the Quiche:
Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
Bake the Quiche:
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Cool and Serve:
Let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Add Veggies: You can add sautéed vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
Different Cheeses: Try different cheese combinations such as Swiss, feta, or goat cheese for variety.
