Description

This Potato Crust Quiche features a crispy, golden crust made from thinly sliced potatoes and is filled with a creamy egg mixture, cheese, and customizable add-ins like vegetables or meat. A delicious and gluten-free twist on traditional quiche.


Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sautéed onions (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Thinly slice the potatoes and toss with olive oil or melted butter.
  3. Arrange the slices in a greased pie dish, overlapping to form a crust on the bottom and sides.
  4. Bake the crust for 20–25 minutes, until tender and lightly golden.
  5. While crust bakes, whisk eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  6. Stir in shredded cheese and any desired vegetables or meats.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked potato crust.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  9. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Pre-bake the potato crust to prevent sogginess.Customize with your favorite cheeses and vegetables.Use sweet potatoes for a flavorful variation.Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.Serve warm or at room temperature — great for make-ahead meals.
