Level Up Your Quiche With Mayo For The Smoothest Bite
By Grace Allison
Hot or cold, it's hard to resist the smooth and creamy texture of a quiche, and the key to ensuring this irresistible texture is the inclusion of mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise intensifies a quiche's eggy taste and smoothes the cooked texture. Once you've mixed it with the other wet ingredients, simply pour it over your extras and bake.
To make the filling as smooth as possible, whisk the mayonnaise in a bowl with the milk before you add the eggs, ensuring you're not overbeating the eggs.
Some recipes will ask for half a jar of mayonnaise, but it's important to remember how much salt you will include in the rest of the quiche.
Be careful when adding ingredients like cheese or bacon that will raise the sodium level or rich elements, like cream, which can ruin the delicate taste of the eggs.
If you've added too much mayonnaise, adding more of the other components will even it out. Strong, acidic, or spicy flavors can help cut through the flavor of mayonnaise.
