Make a simple quiche with adult supervision: prepare crust, whisk eggs and milk, add fillings, bake, and learn kitchen safety.



Step-by-step guide to make Quiche A La Avery
Step 1
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds so your quiche stays clean.
Step 2
Ask an adult to preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready when your quiche is assembled.
Step 3
Unroll the store bought pie crust into the pie dish and press it gently against the bottom and sides.
Step 4
Crack 4 eggs into the mixing bowl making sure no shell pieces fall in.
Step 5
Measure 1 cup of milk or cream and pour it into the bowl with the eggs.
Step 6
Whisk the eggs and milk together until the mixture looks smooth and a little frothy.
Step 7
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into the egg mixture and stir once to mix.
Step 8
Chop any cooked fillings on the cutting board with a knife while being careful and using adult help if needed.
Step 9
Sprinkle the shredded cheese and chopped fillings evenly into the pie crust.
Step 10
Pour the whisked egg and milk mixture slowly into the crust over the fillings so it fills up evenly.
Step 11
Ask an adult to put the quiche in the oven and bake it for 35 to 40 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Step 12
Ask an adult to remove the quiche using oven mitts and let it cool on a rack for about 10 minutes before cutting.

Help!?
What can I use if I don't have a store-bought pie crust or cream?
If you don't have a store-bought pie crust, use thawed puff pastry or press a simple homemade crust of crushed crackers and melted butter into the pie dish, and if you lack cream the recipe already allows substituting 1 cup of milk.
My quiche center is still runny after baking — what might have gone wrong?
Make sure an adult preheated the oven to 375°F and bake toward the 40-minute end until the center is set, and confirm you whisked the eggs and milk until smooth and didn't overfill the crust with very wet fillings.
How can I adapt the steps for younger or older kids?
Younger kids can wash hands, unroll the pie crust, sprinkle cheese and pour the whisked egg mixture while adults handle preheating the oven and cutting or removing the quiche, and older kids can crack and whisk the 4 eggs, measure the 1 cup of milk, and chop fillings with supervision.
How can we personalize or make the quiche more flavorful?
Stir chopped herbs into the whisked eggs, try different cheeses or cooked fillings (like bacon, spinach, or mushrooms) when sprinkling into the crust, and top with extra cheese before the adult bakes it for added flavor.

Facts about cooking and kitchen safety for kids
🥧 Quiche comes from the Lorraine region of France — the classic is Quiche Lorraine with bacon and cheese!
🥚 One large egg has about 6 grams of protein — eggs help the quiche set into a tasty custard.
🌡️ The safe internal temperature for egg dishes like quiche is 160°F (71°C) — grown-ups can check with a thermometer.
🥐 Shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) is a common quiche crust — you can make it or use a ready-made one to save time.
⏲️ Most quiches bake about 25–45 minutes — it’s done when the center is slightly wobbly, not watery.
