Brie And Pear Quiche: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 5 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
– 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
– 1/2 cup caramelized onions (optional)
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
– 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)


Instructions

Creating this delightful Brie And Pear Quiche is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it into the edges. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
3. Blind Bake the Crust: Place parchment paper over the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and discard the weights. Allow to cool slightly.
4. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
5. Add Cheese and Pears: Gently fold in the brie cheese cubes, sliced pears, and caramelized onions if using. Add the fresh thyme and mix until evenly distributed.
6. Pour the Filling: Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake the Quiche: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
8. Cool: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Drizzle with Honey: If desired, drizzle honey over the top for a touch of sweetness before serving.

These simple steps will guide you in crafting a beautiful and delicious quiche that showcases the amazing flavors of brie and pear.
