Frankfurter quiche Recipe

German · Main course · 60 min total

A hearty German-inspired quiche featuring sliced frankfurters in a creamy egg custard with cheese and onions, baked in a flaky pie crust.

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
• 4 frankfurters, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and cook onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add frankfurter slices and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until smooth.
4. Spread the frankfurter-onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle shredded Swiss cheese on top.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and filling. Gently shake to settle.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, blind bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding filling.
• Leftover quiche can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a 350°F oven.
• Substitute frankfurters with bratwurst or kielbasa for variation.
