Our Story

QuicheRecipe.com began in a small Paris apartment in 2024, born from a simple frustration: too many quiche recipes online promised perfection but delivered watery fillings, soggy crusts, and inconsistent results.

As a professionally trained pastry chef who spent over a decade in French kitchens, I knew quiche could be so much more than Sunday brunch afterthought. A perfectly executed quiche — with its silky custard, flaky crust, and balanced filling — is a testament to technique, precision, and understanding the science behind the ingredients.

I started documenting every quiche I made, tracking egg-to-cream ratios, blind-baking times, filling combinations, and temperature variations. After testing over 2,400 iterations, clear patterns emerged: the Golden Ratio of 1 egg per ½ cup dairy, the importance of a proper blind bake, the critical squeeze-dry step for vegetables, and dozens of other small details that separate good quiche from extraordinary quiche.

Today, QuicheRecipe.com serves hundreds of thousands of home cooks each month who want the same thing I did: recipes that work the first time, techniques explained clearly, and the confidence to create restaurant-quality quiche at home.

Our Editorial Mission

Every recipe and technique guide on this site is:

  • Tested rigorously. We develop recipes through multiple rounds of testing, adjusting variables systematically until we achieve consistent, repeatable results.
  • Explained clearly. We don't just tell you what to do — we explain why it matters, so you understand the principles and can adapt with confidence.
  • Grounded in technique. Good recipes come from good technique. We teach the fundamentals that apply across all quiche recipes, not just one-off tricks.
  • Honest about results. If a shortcut compromises quality, we'll tell you. If an expensive ingredient doesn't make a meaningful difference, we'll tell you that too.

Our Recipe Testing Methodology

Before any recipe is published on QuicheRecipe.com, it goes through our standardized testing protocol:

Testing Protocol

  1. Initial Development: Research traditional techniques, identify variables, establish baseline recipe
  2. Systematic Testing: Test variations of each major variable (egg ratio, dairy type, baking temperature, filling proportions)
  3. Blind Testing: Team members test without knowledge of which variation they're tasting
  4. Home Kitchen Validation: Recipe tested in at least three different home kitchens with standard equipment
  5. Documentation: Every test recorded with photos, measurements, temperatures, and detailed notes
  6. Final Review: Recipe must produce consistent results across multiple bakers before publication

This process typically takes 3-6 weeks per recipe. For our foundational guides like the Golden Ratio or Blind Baking Guide, testing spans several months and dozens of iterations.
