Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.

- Bake the meat crust for 25 minutes.

- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and light cream together.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey or chicken hash instead of corned beef. If you prefer a crustless quiche, skip the meat crust and pour the filling directly into a greased pie dish. Adding garlic or spices can enhance the flavor. Always taste the cabbage mixture before layering it; adjust seasoning as necessary for your preference.

Allow the quiche to cool completely before storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or place in a warm oven until heated through. For best results, cover with foil to prevent drying out.
