Apple Cheddar Quiche

Author: Lisa Longley

Ingredients

  • 1 refrigreated pie crust I used Pillsbury
  • 1 medium granny smith apple diced
  • 1 bunch of scallions sliced half an inch into the green
  • 1/2 TBSP butter
  • 5 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 cup cream I used fat free half and half
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325.
  • Spread the pie crust in a pie pan. Cover with aluminum foil. Fill the foil with something to weigh it down, like dry beans or coins.
  • Bake the pie crust for 25 minutes.
  • While the pie crust is baking, melt the butter over medium heat in a small frying pan. Add the apples and the scallions. Cook until the apples are soft.
  • Beat together the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Just before the pie crust is ready, add the apples, scallions, and cheese to the egg mixture and pour into the hot crust (after removing the foil and what's holding it down).
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. You may need to cover the edge of the crust with foil in the last 10 minutes of baking.
