Ingredients

• 1 piece Refrigerated pie crust
• 1.5 cups Artichoke hearts (canned, drained, and chopped)
• 1 cup Shredded Gruyère cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the refrigerated pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch round pie dish. Trim any excess dough, and crimp the edges if desired.

Step 3

Using a fork, gently prick the bottom of the pie crust to prevent it from puffing up during baking.

Step 4

Par-bake the crust by placing a sheet of parchment paper inside and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights, and then bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until lightly golden. Set the crust aside to cool.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.

Step 6

Stir in the salt, pepper, nutmeg, and fresh parsley for a flavorful custard base.

Step 7

Spread the chopped artichoke hearts evenly across the bottom of the baked crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses over the artichokes, ensuring even distribution.

Step 9

Pour the custard mixture over the cheese and artichokes, allowing it to fill the crust evenly.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes to cool slightly before slicing.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
