Simple Tarragon Quiche

| Cuisine of France

Category: French  ·  Serves 6

Ingredients

• 5 eggs
• 1 ⅓ cup (320 ml) cream (approximately 30% fat)
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
• 1 dash ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 prepared frozen pie crust
• ¾ cup (180 ml) freshly-grated Swiss cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the eggs, cream, tarragon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a blender; blend as briefly as possible until they form a homogeneous mixture.
3. In the pie crust, create alternating layers of the shredded cheese and the mixture from the blender until the crust is full.
4. Bake the quiche for 35–40 minutes; a toothpick or fork inserted into its middle should come out "clean".
5. Remove the quiche from the oven, and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
