What Is Quiche Cheese Pie?
A quiche cheese pie is a baked egg-and-cheese dish similar to classic French quiche but often simpler and more flexible. Instead of complicated techniques, this version focuses on flavor, ease, and comfort — making it ideal for everyday cooking.
This recipe uses eggs , evaporated milk , Parmesan cheese , and a prepared crust to create a smooth, savory filling that sets beautifully in the oven.
Tiffany’s Pro-Tips for the Best Quiche Cheese Pie
Use room-temperature eggs for a smoother custard texture.
Don’t overbake — the quiche will continue to set as it cools.
Shred your own cheese for better melting and flavor.
Let it rest before slicing to keep clean, neat slices.
Storage & Reheating
Refrigerator : Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days .
Freezer : Quiche can be frozen for up to 2 months . Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container.
