Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Servings: 8 slices

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges neatly. Set aside.
  2. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the grated cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the pie crust evenly. Layer the blanched green beans on top.
  6. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the green beans. Sprinkle the crispy fried onions evenly on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Helpful Tips

  • Variation: Add cooked crumbled bacon or diced ham for a meaty twist.
  • For beginners: Use a store-bought pie crust to save time and ensure perfect flakiness.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Substitutions: Swap the cheddar cheese for gruyere or Swiss for different flavor profiles.

Pairings

This Green Bean Casserole Quiche pairs beautifully with a light, refreshing salad, such as a mixed greens salad with a lemon vinaigrette. For beverages, consider serving with a glass of crisp white wine, a mimosa, or freshly squeezed orange juice for a non-alcoholic option.
