0 lb
Taco Seasoning
tablespoons
each
cups
Garlic, minced
cloves
teaspoons
teaspoons
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
cups
1. Preheat Oven and Grease Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie pan.
2. Brown the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 7 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add the taco seasoning and mix well. Spread the mixture evenly in the greased pie pan.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
4. Assemble the Quiche
Carefully pour the egg mixture over the beef in the pie pan. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
5. Bake the Quiche
Place the pie pan in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until the center is set and the cheese has browned nicely.
6. Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
Source the best quality beef you can find—preferably grass-fed for its flavor profile and leaner meat. Opt for aged cheddar, which will provide a deeper, more complex flavor than standard cheddar.
Use freshly grated cheddar instead of pre-shredded cheese to avoid anti-caking agents that can affect melt and texture in your quiche.
Use a pie shield or aluminum foil to avoid overcooking edges. Bake until center is just set but slightly wobbly.
If you're making the crust from scratch, ensure all your ingredients are cold to achieve a flaky, buttery pastry. Blind bake the crust before adding the filling to prevent it from getting soggy.
Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air for a lighter texture. Mix in a dollop of sour cream or splash of heavy cream for richness.
