Quiche Recipies

What Is Quiche?

Quiche is a French dish typically that consists of a pastry shell, filled with a savory egg custard and any number of ingredients like vegetables, meat, and cheese. After baking, the custard’s texture should be airy and slightly creamy. The egg flavor should not be too forward so it can act as the perfect bowl for the other delicious ingredients you add.

What are the Best Mix-ins for a Quiche?

There are many classic quiche recipes such as Quiche Lorraine, packed with savory Gruyère and bacon but I also enjoy filling our quiches with veggies like zucchini and tomatoes or a wild mushroom blend.

Most quiche add-ins should be pre-cooked but they can still be warm when mixing into the egg filling. Spinach, kale, bell pepper, and tomatoes can be fresh, but you can definitely sauté them first if desired. Some of my favorite quiche add-ins:

• goat cheese
• cooked cubed ham
• bacon
• caramelized onions
• sautéed mushrooms
• sautéed chopped asparagus
• chopped fresh parsley

Stick to 1/2 – 1 cup cheese and up to 2 cups vegetables and/or meat add-ins. (Since fresh spinach packs down, you can go heavy on it.)

This quiche is the perfect addition to brunch, just slice and serves with a fresh green salad.

Not only is this quiche low carb, most importantly it’s super easy. No crust, no problem!
