Quiche for a Crowd – 2 versions and Virtual Baby Shower

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.

Today at RMK, it is a virtual baby shower for Melanie from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe.  I am throwing the shower along with some of my blogging friends. Also, I am sharing a recipe for a quiche for a crowd. I was “tickled pink” to be asked to be a part of a shower for Melanie, who actually inspired me to start this blog. She is going to be welcoming a baby girl to her home with her four boys, something that definitely warrants a celebration.

I love baby and bridal showers.  It is one of those times that you get to enjoy girl food!  I was in charge of the main dish for the shower so I took the option to make a definite girl food -quiche.  You make this quiche in a sheet pan and makes enough to feed a crowd – perfect for a shower.  I also made two versions – a ham and swiss version along with a tomato and herb one.  I really love the tomato herb version.

Calories

Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup cold butter cut into cubes
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • pinch of cayenne pepper

Filling:

  • 2 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 ¼ cups milk I used whole
  • 10 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • ½ cup green onion or chives
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor fitted with the S-blade, add all of the crust ingredients and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. You want small clumps of butter.
  • Place the mixture in the bottom only of a sheet pan (12 x 18). Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Turn oven to 350 to preheat 10 minutes before you bring the crust out of the fridge.
  • Place the crust in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until a pale golden color. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  • In a bowl, combine the cream, milk, eggs, and salt until well combined.
  • Sprinkle the green onion and ham over the crust followed by the cheese. Then carefully pour the egg mixture over the crust.
  • Bake at 350 for about 30-35 minutes until the egg part of the quiche is set. Test by inserting a knife and if it comes out clean it is done. If any portion of the quiche has bubbled, just pierce those areas with a fork and they will even out with the rest of the quiche.
  • Allow to cool for 10 minutes and serve.
