Believe it or not, I’ve never actually made a quiche before! Joe’s not a huge fan, but I am realizing how crazy my mornings/ok life are and as much as I try to meal prep or stay on top of cooking, I could use a little help!
I had a craving for some quiche after watching some YouTube videos. I picked up my pie crusts at Aldis, they came in a pack of 2. I decided to make two different ones and see how they came out. I wouldn’t consider these “clean” because I did use pie crusts, half & half and cheese, but you could totally lighten them up! (Use egg whites, go crust-less & switch to a fat free milk). I really enjoy a hearty breakfast since I workout, but I’d probably make it not so rich in the future. This would be perfect for a holiday breakfast or for a bunch of people.
Spinach Mushroom Quiche
1 pie crust
1 cup of cheese (I used cheddar)
1 cup of spinach & 1 container of mushrooms
3/4 cup of milk (I used half and half)
6 eggs
Salt & pepper to taste.
Set your oven for 375 degrees.
Slice mushrooms & sauté in a pan with a little cooking spray. Add spinach and cook until both are soft/wilted.
In a bowl stir eggs & milk — salt/pepper to taste.
Pour mushrooms/spinach into pie crust.
Top with half of the cheese.
Pour egg & milk mixture over that.
Add the rest of the cheese.
Bake at 375 for 35 minutes. I had set the timer for 45 but they were done before that!
Let it set before slicing into it. Enjoy!
Ham & Cheddar Quiche
1 pie crust
1 cup of cheese
1 cup of cooked diced up ham
3/4 cup milk (I used half & half)
6 eggs
Green onions (I just used one)
Salt & pepper to taste
Set your oven for 375 degrees.
In a bowl stir eggs & milk — salt/pepper to taste.
Pour ham & most of the cheese into pie crust.
Pour egg & milk mixture over that.
Add the rest of the cheese.
Top with green onions.
Bake at 375 for 35 minutes. (I baked the two together, so again I had set the timer for 45 but they were done before that!)
Do you have a favorite quiche recipe? Please share! I want to experiment with different cheeses and such. Bacon, prosciutto, Canadian bacon, sausage, ground turkey are all great meat ideas too! I think this is a great way to meal prep but also use up what’s in the fridge.
