### How to Make the Best Ever Quiche
1. **Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).**
2. **Blind bake the crust:** Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10–12 minutes. Remove weights and bake another 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
3. **Prepare the filling:** In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices.
4. **Layer the add-ins:** Sprinkle cheese and mix-ins evenly into the pre-baked crust.
5. **Pour the egg mixture** over the top until it just reaches the rim.
6. **Bake for 35–40 minutes**, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
7. **Cool slightly before slicing.** Serve warm or at room temperature.

### Why It Works Every Time
* **The ratio is key:** 4 eggs to 1.5 cups liquid creates that creamy custard texture that holds together without being dry.
* **Blind baking the crust** prevents soggy bottoms—crisp, golden perfection every time.
* **Endless customization:** This is your base recipe. From classic Lorraine (bacon + Swiss) to veggie-packed options, the possibilities are endless.

### Tips for Quiche Success
* **Don’t overfill the crust.** Leave a little room for the eggs to rise while baking.
* **Let it rest after baking.** This helps the quiche firm up and slice cleanly.
* **Store leftovers** in the fridge for up to 4 days—perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack.
