Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust: This serves as the base of your quiche. A homemade crust can be used for a personal touch, but pre-made is time-saving and convenient.
- 6 large eggs: The foundation of your filling, eggs give the quiche its structure and provide protein.
- 1 cup heavy cream: This adds richness and creaminess, balancing the flavors beautifully.
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened: Cream cheese will enhance the creamy texture that is characteristic of Mississippi Sin Dip.
- 1/2 cup sour cream: Adds a tangy flavor and moisture to the quiche.
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese: A staple in southern cooking, cheddar cheese provides that delicious gooeyness we all love.
- 1/2 cup diced turkey: Replacing the traditional ham with turkey keeps the dish scrumptious yet suitable for those who prefer poultry.
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions: Adds freshness and a mild onion flavor that complements the other rich ingredients.
- 1 tsp garlic powder: Enhances overall flavor with its savory quality.
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika: Provides a warm, slightly smoky note that ties the dish together.
- 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper: Essential for seasoning the quiche perfectly.
- Optional: 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper: For those who enjoy a little heat, this can be added for an extra kick.
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your pre-made pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Once done, let the crust cool while you prepare your filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 4 oz softened cream cheese, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Mix until the combination is smooth.
- Add cheese and turkey: Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup diced turkey, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and cayenne pepper if you desire a spicy kick. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
- Assemble the quiche: Pour the filling mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake: Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when it’s set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Once baked, allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. This cooling time helps the filling set up a bit more. After that, slice it into wedges and enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
