If you want to make a quiche, the simplest type is a basic cheese quiche, which is traditionally made with Gruyère cheese and flavored with seasonings like nutmeg and cayenne pepper.
The custard itself is a standard egg and cream custard that's baked in a pastry crust made of tart dough. Tart dough is slightly different from pie dough because with tart dough, we want the blobs of butter to be about the size of corn meal so that the bottom doesn't get soggy while you bake the custard.
Beyond the basic cheese quiche, I like a simple quiche with maybe one or two additional ingredients. Mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes and onions are nice ingredients to feature in a quiche. And of course the classic Quiche Lorraine is made with bacon (traditionally) or sometimes ham.
Here's an easy cheese quiche recipe. And here's more about baking and custard:
