• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: 
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with cooking spray or butter.
   
   
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Drain any excess grease.
   
   
3. Assemble the Filling:
   Spread the cooked ground beef and onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper.
   
   
5. Combine and Bake:
   Pour the egg mixture over the beef and cheese in the pie dish.
   Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until the quiche is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
   
   
6. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the quiche to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley or chives, if desired.
