Description
An easy, savory egg bake that’s creamy, light, and packed with flavor, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a simple weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 cup chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, etc.)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: cooked bacon or sausage
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or nonstick spray. Chop your vegetables into small, even pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and slightly frothy. Stir in cheese, vegetables, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until evenly combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the greased pie dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top turns lightly golden.
- Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
For a richer quiche, use whole milk or half-and-half. Don’t overbake; the quiche should jiggle slightly when removed.
