Yes it's true! You don't need cheese to make a great quiche. In fact, Nick Malgieri, who wrote the cookbook Pastry, told Tonia's Kitchen that he might just have to show up in your kitchen to stop you...if you dare use cheese! Just kidding, but Nick does say his filling is made up of nothing more than heavy cream, or crème fresh, eggs beaten and salt, pepper and nutmeg. The crust, he says, is key. He uses flour, salt, baking powder, lots of butter and eggs blended in a food processor. Nick told Tonia you shouldn't pre-bake the crust, and you won't have to if you use the bottom rack of your oven. Chances are, you'll never miss the cheese!LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
