  • Step 5. Roll out the gluten free pastry dough to about a 0.5 cm thickness and line the prepared dish with the pastry. Fix any holes and prick the bottom of the pastry with a fork.

Chef’s Tip: Gluten-free pastry is crumblier, so roll carefully and patch any holes in the crust with pastry offcuts.

  • Step 6. Place a layer of foil on the pastry and weight this down with some baking beans and bake blind for 15 mins.

Chef’s Tip: No baking beans? You can use dried rice, dried beans or even popcorn kernels.

FAQs

What not to put in quiche? ›

Using too many eggs in the custard. The best quiche consists of a custard that's the perfect ratio between eggs and milk. Using too many eggs in the custard results in a quiche that rubbery and too firm when baked, while not using enough will prevent the custard from setting.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream for quiche? ›

The answer is, yes you can, which is a relief. You do need some fat in there to help it set, but you can get that from the cheese. Using just milk and eggs as the basis for the filling works perfectly well and I figure you are more likely to have these ingredients in, which is way more helpful.

Can you substitute cornstarch for flour in quiche? ›

What is the key to a good quiche? ›

At its core, the ingredients are simple — pie crust, eggs, milk or cream, and favorite fillings.

Can you put too many eggs in a quiche? ›

Why does my quiche sink when I take it out of the oven? ›

Why did my quiche not set? ›
