I love quiche. They are simple and elegant and can be eaten for breakfast or for lunch. Secret: we eat them for dinner too!
This guy is a fan favorite at my house. I have a basic base recipe for the quiche and then add different ingredients based on my mood or what I have in the refrigerator. The other day I had mushroom and swiss cheese. The mushrooms turn golden brown in the oven. And, I always like to use broccoli. It’s the great way to get veggies on the table — hide them amongst eggs, and cheese! In a PIE!
This is such a versatile recipe. You can add so many different items and completely change out the dish.

I used an extra egg and a little extra cheese because I wanted to use up the packages. I think this may have impacted the cooking time and consistency. Despite cooking it for an additional 15 minutes, it was still mushy, not well-gelled together, and didn’t cut nicely. Probably my fault. The flavors were good and I served with fresh cilantro. Great way to get a good amount of vegetables into a dish. Fortunately, I was only serving to my partner and 14yo, not guests, so the appearance wasn’t a big deal. My daughter had seconds, which is noteworthy, as she is averse to vegetables. Adding the mushrooms to the top was a pretty touch.
