Quick and Easy Quiche Recipes

Serve as a main dish with a salad and crusty bread, or brunch size mini-quiche. As long as you follow the basic custard recipe, what you add is up to you. Make a quiche with leftovers. Keep spare crusts in the freezer and you’re good to go. It’s that easy! * Cream: Heavy cream tastes richer, but this recipe can be made with half & half, whole milk, 1% milk and even soy milk. It will change the taste and texture a bit. * Cheese: Experiment a little and try different tastes and textures. Don’t use Limberger! * Fillings: Just about anything will do as long as you like it! Don’t go overboard. You need to have a good ratio of custard to meat and veggies to hold the quiche together. Meats and seafood need to be cooked first. Use fresh herbs and spices for variety. * Pie Pans: Use a deep dish pie pan. The higher the sides the better. This quiche can even be made in a casserole dish or jelly roll pan, as long as the crust is high enough to hold the liquid in. Mini muffin pans are the perfect size for a brunch. * Mixer: Any hand mixer or high-speed KitchenAid mixer will work as long as you get the eggs and cream whipped up good. * Freezing: Make two as this quiche freezes well. Double wrap first. * Classic Quiche Lorraine; crisp bacon, sauteed onions and swiss cheese. * Crab or Lobster and Swiss Quiche; cooked crabmeat or lobster, onions, swiss and Old Bay Seasoning. * Ham and Cheese Quiche; cooked, diced ham, onions and cheddar cheese. * Vegetarian Quiche; garlic, onions, peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, cheddar and fresh herbs. * Spinach, Garlic and Feta Quiche; squeezed spinach, garlic and onions, crumbled feta and fresh herbs. * Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche; steamed broccoli, onions and garlic, cheddar cheese, fresh herbs and seasoned salt. * Sun-dried Tomato and Olive Quiche; chopped and drained sun-dried tomatoes, sliced kalamata olives, onions and garlic, provolone cheese and fresh basil. * Asparagus, Roasted Red Pepper and Gruyere Quiche; steamed asparagus, roasted red peppers, onions, gruyere and fresh dill. * Chicken and Cheese Quiche; cooked and diced chicken, onions and garlic, cheddar and poultry seasoning.
