As much as I love my smoked salmon and eggs benedict, sometimes you just need to break out a classic and traditional quiche for your brunch party! Quiche is the perfect addition to any breakfast or brunch because you can easily adapt it to the size of your party and change up the ingredients to suit the tastes of your guests! Plus, you can make it the night before, so all you have to do is reheat it in the morning for a hassle free meal.
Quiches save really well, so I love making a variety of quiches on the weekends for a fun Sunday morning brunch with friends or even just for a party of two and keeping the extras for an easy go to breakfast throughout the rest of the workweek!
You can easily change up the vegetable and meat additions to create a variety of different quiche combinations. My personal favorite combinations are bacon (because who doesn’t love bacon?!), red and green bell peppers, and spinach, but feel free to get as creative as you want!
Some other popular quiche ingredients include: ham, mushrooms, asparagus, onion, tomatoes, green onions, zucchini, and even potatoes!
I absolutely love this quiche recipe and would eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could! This quiche is perfectly cheesy and creamy and will absolutely leave everyone wanting more! Plus, if this ends up being leftovers for breakfast on Monday, your day will start just a little bit brighter!
