Cheese Quiche Recipe with Nuts

Ingredients:

• 1 pie crust, homemade or store-bought
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup chopped mixed nuts (e.g. almonds, pecans, walnuts)
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup milk or half-and-half
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Roll out your pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and then prick the bottom of the crust several times with a fork. Refrigerate until needed.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the grated cheese and chopped nuts. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or half-and-half, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined. Pour this mixture over the cheese and nuts in the pie crust.
5. Bake the quiche for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
