Quiche

Every single week recently I have found myself making quiche. It’s just so easy to throw together and it makes the perfect quick breakfast for my husband Andy and I. Andy is a nurse and has to be out the door at 6:15am. He reheats his piece of quiche in the oven while he gets ready for work. I reheat mine the same way and it’s one less breakfast I need to cook. Now if only the kids would try it!

Quiche is such a nourishing and filling breakfast option filled with protein. I eat mine with a side of kimchi and alongside my morning coffee. I make it using my all butter pie crust recipe, so it’s made completely from scratch. Now that it’s part of my weekly routine, I can throw it together very quickly.

Tools Needed

1. Pie pan like this one.
2. Rolling pin for the crust.
3. Knife & cutting board.
4. Cheese grater.
5. Liquid measuring cups and spoons.

Tips

Making quiche is a great way to use up your leftovers! Switch out the meat, the herb, the cheese, or add leftover vegetables. Have you ever ended up with just a handful of veggies at the end of a meal? That’s perfect for throwing into your quiche!

Yield: 8 slices, 1 quiche

Notes

Switch out the meat, the cheese, and the herb or add your favorite roasted veggies. This recipe is super versatile! You can also freeze the finished quiche and thaw it out later for reheating.
