Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your quiche cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the beef and onions are cooked, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool slightly. Then, add the mixture to the bowl with the egg and milk mixture.
- Add the shredded cheese to the beef, onion, and egg mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. If desired, crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Pour the beef and egg mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly to ensure it cooks uniformly.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling set further and make it easier to cut.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious Mom Vogel's Easy Hamburger Quiche!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time on busy mornings, consider preparing the beef and onion mixture the night before. Just store it in the refrigerator and combine it with the egg mixture when you’re ready to bake.
- Customize Your Cheese: While shredded cheese is a must, feel free to mix and match! Cheddar, mozzarella, or even a spicy pepper jack can add a unique twist to your quiche.
- Add Veggies: For a nutritious boost, toss in some chopped bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the beef and onion mixture. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds color and texture.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your quiche during the last few minutes of baking. It’s done when the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your quiche with a fresh salad or some sliced tomatoes for a refreshing contrast. It’s the perfect way to round out your meal!
