Light and Luscious Milk-based Quiche

Can I Substitute Milk For Cream in Quiche Recipe? 

Using milk instead of cream will result in a lighter and less creamy texture in your quiche. The richness that cream provides may be diminished. 

However, if you prefer a lighter version or if you're looking to reduce the fat content, milk can be a suitable substitute.

When making the substitution, keep in mind that the texture and flavor of the quiche may be slightly different. 

To compensate for the lower fat content, you might consider adding an extra egg yolk or a bit of flour to help thicken the custard and maintain a desirable consistency.


Here's a modified recipe for a milk-based quiche:


Milk-based Quiche Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup of milk (preferably whole milk for a creamier result)
  • 1 cup of grated cheese (such as Gruyere, cheddar, or Swiss)
  • 1 cup of your choice of fillings (cooked bacon, sautéed vegetables, diced ham, or spinach are all great options)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)


Servings: 4 generous servings

Cooking time: Approximately 30 minutes


Milk-based Quiche Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a pie dish or baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
    Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Spread your choice of fillings evenly in the greased dish.
  4. Pour the egg and milk mixture over the fillings, ensuring everything is well-coated.
  5. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the mixture.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Once cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and slice into wedges or squares.
