Ricotta quiche with prosciutto and semi-dried tomatoes FAQ:
A 9-inch pie or tart pan is recommended for this Ricotta Quiche to ensure even baking and proper crust size.
Bake the quiche at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
You can substitute heavy whipping cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter option, but the quiche may not be as rich and creamy.
Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature or in the microwave.
You can substitute prosciutto with cooked bacon, ham, or turkey for a similar savory flavor.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure your butter is very cold before incorporating it into the flour mixture for the crust; this will help create a flaky texture.
- Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing; this will make it easier to cut clean pieces and allow the filling to set.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs such as basil or thyme to the egg mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
- To avoid a soggy bottom crust, prebake (blind bake) the crust for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
