Ingredients

Scale

Potato Crust

  • 2 lbs potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Filling

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1–2 cups cheese (cheddar or feta)
  • 2 cups vegetables (spinach, onions, bell peppers)
  • Herbs (thyme or parsley)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potato Crust: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Boil peeled potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and mash them with a bit of butter and seasoning. Press the mashed potatoes into the bottom and up the sides of a greased pie dish, creating a crust. Bake for about 20 minutes until the crust is crispy.
  2. Whisk the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined. Season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
  3. Add Fillings: Sauté any vegetables you plan to use until soft, then spread them evenly across the baked potato crust. Sprinkle your cheese on top, and then pour the egg mixture over everything, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
  4. Bake the Quiche: Place the quiche back in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Ensure your mashed potatoes are not too watery; otherwise, the crust will be soggy.
  • Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing for cleaner pieces.
  • Start with spices and herbs in small amounts and adjust according to your taste preferences.
  • If the edges of your potato crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  • The egg should be completely set before removing the quiche from the oven to ensure the right texture.
