The culinary science: Quiche contains plenty of fat from eggs, cream, cheese, and butter, which helps carry fat-soluble cannabinoids. Blend the infused butter or oil thoroughly into the custard so every slice receives a similar dose, and avoid pooling the infusion at the bottom of the crust. Bake at moderate heat, around 325°F to 350°F, until the center is just set, since the moist custard keeps the interior cooler than the oven air and helps protect cannabinoids and terpenes. Dr. Benjamin Caplan recommends dividing the total milligrams by the number of slices before baking, cutting evenly, and labeling leftovers clearly.
