Notes

    • DISH TO USE: This recipe is best baked in a 9-inch pie plate. Sometimes I will also use an 8 × 8 glass baking dish. If I’m doubling the recipe I use a 9 × 13 lasagna pan.
    • CHEESE: Most types of cheese will work for this: mozzarella, cheddar, marble, Monterey Jack, Swiss cheese, or gruyere cheese
    • MILK: You can use 1%, 2%, whole milk, cream, or heavy cream
    • QUICHE FILLINGS: Remember it is a TOTAL of 1 cup of additions.
    • LEFTOVERS: Store any leftovers in an airtight container (or cover tightly with a layer of plastic wrap) in the refrigerator. After the quiche has been in the fridge you may notice a little bit of excess moisture, just drain it off.
    • FREEZING: You can freeze leftovers. Just place individual slices on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Then put the baking sheet into the freezer and freeze overnight. Once the slices have frozen, transfer them to a ziplock bag and freeze.
    • INDIVIDUAL PORTIONS: If you want to make individual portions into crustless mini quiche, don’t miss my post on how to make Easy Egg Bites in a Muffin Tin!MAKE AHEAD? I do not recommend making this dish ahead of time. It’s best served immediately.
