Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 f. Line pie dish with crust and prebake for 10 minutes.
In large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and cream together. Add remaining ingredients. Combine well.
Pour egg mixture into prebaked pie crust.
Reduce oven to 350 f. Bake quiche about 45 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

Use heavy cream for a more decadent quiche.
You need to use a deep dish pie crust to fit all the filling into 1 pie, so depending on the depth of your pie plate, you may not be able to fit all of the egg mixture into your crust. (Most store-bought crusts that comes in a throw-away tin are not deep dish. If you don’t have a big enough deep dish pie plate, just use 2 regular pie plates.)
