Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Captain Rodney's Boucan sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center of the oven for even cooking.
- Prepare the pie crust by placing it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges decoratively and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Captain Rodney's Boucan sauce, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Distribute the shredded chicken evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the chicken layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Carefully pour the egg and sauce mixture over the chicken and cheese, making sure it covers all ingredients uniformly.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into 8 wedges and serve warm, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Allow eggs and milk to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing. This helps create a smoother, more consistent custard.
- Cheese Selection: While the recipe calls for shredded cheese, experiment with different varieties like sharp cheddar, gruyère, or a blend for more complex flavor profiles.
- Crust Protection: If the pie crust edges start browning too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil to prevent burning while ensuring the quiche cooks evenly.
- Doneness Test: The quiche is perfectly cooked when it's slightly jiggly in the center but not liquid. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This quiche can be prepared in advance and reheated, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with fresh chives, parsley, or a light sprinkle of smoked paprika before serving.
