Ingredients
  

For the Crust
For the Quiche Filling
  • 6 large eggs Forms the custard base for richness and structure; feel free to decrease for a lighter quiche.
  • 1/2 cup half & half Adds creaminess; substitute with whole milk or a mix of milks for a different texture.
  • 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar Offers tangy flavor and enhances creaminess; try mozzarella and gouda for a unique twist.
  • 3 Tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese Contributes nuttiness; Pecorino Romano offers a sharper alternative if desired.
