Quiches are savory custards baked in pastry shells

Quiches are delicious baked dishes featuring a creamy custard filling, primarily made from eggs and cream, nestled within a crisp pastry shell. This savory pie often includes ingredients like cheese, vegetables, meats, or herbs, which are added to the uncooked custard mixture. The pastry is typically blind-baked first to prevent sogginess, ensuring a perfect contrast with the tender filling.
