How to Make ANY Quiche! (No Recipe Required)

Today we’re going to make quiche. There are many different types of quiche, the most famous being Quiche Lorraine, but by the end of this video you won’t be limited to just one flavor combination… think chard/white bean/parm, chicken/pesto/thyme, or even something like kimchi/kalbi! The opps are endless, people.

There’s a time and place for an exact recipe, but like the great... I'm spacing on the dude's name... said, "to know one recipe means that you know one recipe, but if you know 1 technique you know 1,000 recipes..." or something fairly similar to that. We’ll start with the French shortbread pastry crust, otherwise known as pâte brisée (“pat-bree-zee,”) then move onto the formula for the egg base and from there the world is yours. Quiche however you dang tootin’ well please. More below… Good Quiching! 🤘🏻Adam
