90 minButter-sautéed onions turn sweet and tender before mixing into a rich custard of eggs, cream, and milk.
Shredded Swiss cheese melts throughout while toasted almonds add unexpected crunch that elevates this from standard quiche to something special.
The custard bakes until just set, with a knife inserted in the center emerging clean after the traditional ten-minute rest.
Kitchen Tips
- Sauté onions until truly tender and translucent for sweetest flavor
- Toast almonds before adding to bring out their nutty richness
- Pour filling into a still-hot baked pie shell so the crust stays crisp
- Let quiche rest for 10 minutes after baking so custard firms up and slices cleanly
Ingredients
Directions
Sauté onion in butter until tender. In small bowl, beat together the eggs, both milks, flour and pepper until lightly frothy.
Stir in the cooked onion, cheese and toasted sliced almonds until well mixed.
Pour the mixture into a still hot baked pie shell. Bake at 325F for about 45 minutes.
When done, a knife inserted in the middle will come out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes, slice and serve.
