Ingredients
Crust
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
Filling
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the quiche.
- Sauté Onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Cook Potatoes: Add the thinly sliced potatoes to the skillet with the onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften but are not fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
- Combine Filling: Stir the chopped artichoke hearts, sautéed onion and potatoes, and crumbled goat cheese into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Assemble Quiche: Pour the filling mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set in the center and the top is golden brown. Test doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes to set before slicing. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve: Serve the quiche warm or at room temperature for a versatile meal option.
Notes
- You can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter quiche filling.
- Pre-cooking the potatoes ensures they are tender by the time the quiche is fully baked.
- Fresh thyme can be used instead of dried thyme for a brighter herb flavor.
- Leftover quiche can be refrigerated and enjoyed within 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the pie crust with a gluten-free crust or make a crustless quiche.
