Ingredients

• 1 9-inch shell pre-made pie crust
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust (if needed) and fit it into a 9-inch tart pan or pie dish. Trim any excess dough and prick the bottom lightly with a fork.

Step 3

Blind bake the crust: Place a sheet of parchment paper over the crust and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment paper and bake for another 5 minutes until the crust starts to turn golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and whole milk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped parsley, chives, dill, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese evenly across the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.

Step 7

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese, filling the crust almost to the top.

Step 8

Place the quiche in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden. You can check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center—it should come out clean.

Step 9

Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
