Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Press the pie crust into a greased quiche dish or pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and prebake for 8 minutes to prevent sogginess.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread marinara sauce over the prebaked crust, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer.
- Arrange sliced pepperoni on top for that signature pizza look.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
- Make it vegetarian: Swap pepperoni for mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
- For a crispier crust: Brush the crust with a little olive oil before prebaking.
- Cheese options: Add Parmesan or provolone for extra flavor.
- Serving suggestion: Pairs perfectly with a fresh side salad or garlic bread.
