Ingredients
Instructions
- Grease a 10-inch pie plate or quiche pan.
- In a blender container, combine milk, eggs, flour, dried onion, marjoram, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cover and blend for 15 seconds until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate.
- Top with shredded cheese and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk. You can also add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra flavor. If you don’t have dried onion, fresh onion can work too; just sauté it first to soften the flavor. To save time, use a pre-made pie crust or a store-bought quiche crust.
Serving Suggestions
This quiche is perfect for brunch and pairs beautifully with Dilly Potato Salad or a fresh green salad. Serve with a side of fruit for a balanced meal. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile dish for gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of cheese in this quiche?
Absolutely! You can substitute the Brick or Monterey Jack cheese with cheeses like cheddar, feta, or even goat cheese for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the cheese you choose melts well.
How do I know when the quiche is done baking?
The quiche is done when the edges are set, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If you notice the top browning too quickly, you can cover it with foil for the last few minutes of baking.
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Assemble it in the pie plate, cover, and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just remember to increase the baking time slightly if it's coming straight from the fridge.
