Onion Quiche

While you might be under the impression that the French created the quiche, it actually originates from Germany. The word quiche comes from the German word “kuchen”, which translates to “cake” in English. A traditional quiche is made using eggs, cream, cheeses, and either vegetables or meat that are all combined and used as the filling of a pastry crust. This simple, yet flavorful quiche is the perfect addition to any Mother’s Day morning!

To make this dish you will need:

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium size bowl, mix together the eggs, cream, and cheese. Once combined, set aside.
In a saucepan, melt your salted butter under medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, toss in your Spice World Ready-To-Use Chopped Easy Onion and allow them to sizzle for a minute or so.
Pour the onion and butter mixture in the unbaked pie crust.
Return to the medium-sized bowl and pour the contents over the onion mixture in the pie crust.
Place it into the oven and allow it to cook for around 30 minutes. Enjoy!
