$20 quiche that feeds 6–8 (no rolling pin, no chilling)

This is a low-effort pie crust + quiche that’s been working well for me lately. Minimal ingredients, no special equipment. Crust (press-in): 1½ cups flour ½ tsp salt 1–2 tbsp sugar (optional) ½ cup melted butter Mix until it looks like clumpy sand, press into a pie dish, bake at 350°F for ~20 min until lightly golden. Filling ratio: 3 eggs + ~1¼ cups dairy (milk/cream/whatever mix) Then add whatever you have. I've been doing broccoli (blanched 2 min) cheddar a little mustard, salt, pepper tarragon + lemon zest (optional but good) Bake at 375°F ~35–40 min until set with a slight wobble in the center. Feeds a group, reheats well, flexible with ingredients.

This sounds great, but I'm curious how you're feeding 6-8 people with 3 eggs and a little broccoli in a pie crust. What do you serve with it?

I THINK the OP meant you can add as many eggs as your container will hold, so long as it's a ratio of 3 to 1.25. I'm guessing, though.

A standard pie pan holds about 4 cups, and 3 of those would be the egg/dairy mix here, but you're right, maybe I misinterpreted! I just know a single quiche is going to feed 4 in my house unless we're having something alongside, so I was curious about the accompaniment OP is serving, if any.
