This adaptable gluten free quiche recipe is great for breakfasts, brunches, lunches, dinners, and potlucks. Make miniature quiche for great appetizers.

What is Quiche
Quiche is a savory egg custard that is very creamy, not firm like an omelet. It is silky and melts in your mouth.
Quiche does not have to contain a crust and it can have a blend of different seasonings, and ingredients.
Adobe Lightroom
Only recently have I started shooting in RAW format. I purchased an old version of Adobe lightroom that was a one-time payment, instead of the monthly payments Adobe now requires you to make.
The older version of lightroom would not allow RAW photos to be uploaded, so JPEG has been what I have shot in the past couple of years.
Just to give you an idea of the difference, RAW files can contain over 65,500 levels of each color, whereas JPEG files contain only 256 shades of each color. Just an insane amount of difference!
There has been a lot of progress to make as far as my photography goes and up until now, I haven’t been willing to spend the monthly payment.
When shooting this quiche, I was certain I had changed over but I didn’t, so sad. Oh well, very happy to be working with RAW files now, the difference in the amount of clarity in a photo is amazing.
How to make Gluten Free Quiche
Start by making a half recipe for the gluten free savory pastry crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Combine eggs, heavy cream, and seasonings together in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
Flour a surface with gluten free flour and roll the pastry dough to 1/8 inch thick. Place the dough in a non-stick sprayed 9” tart pan, setting inside another pan for any spillage. Work the bottom of the dough down into the corners of the pan and roll your pin over the top to remove excess dough.
Place the grated cheese on top of the pastry dough, then add the protein, vegetables, or both scattered over the top.
Pour your egg mixture into the pie shell. Bake in 375° oven, on the bottom rack, for 40 minutes or until the middle is just barely under set. Remove from the oven. Serve hot or cold.
