Simple Tarragon Quiche
A quiche is a baked, unsweetened custard pie, often made with savory fillings. Originally served in Germany, quiche was adopted by neighboring France and is now considered a traditional French dish. The French (and now English) word quiche comes from a dialectal form (Küchle) of the German word for cake (Kuchen). Quiche became popular in Britain after World War II and in the United States during the 1960s and 70s.

Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1 ⅓ cup (320 ml) cream (approximately 30% fat)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 dash ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 prepared frozen pie crust
- ¾ cup (180 ml) freshly-grated Swiss cheese
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the eggs, cream, tarragon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend as briefly as possible until they form a homogeneous mixture.
- In the pie crust, create alternating layers of the shredded cheese and the mixture from the blender until the crust is full.
- Bake the quiche for 35–40 minutes; a toothpick or fork inserted into its middle should come out "clean".
- Remove the quiche from the oven, and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
