Bill'S Quiche
A savory quiche featuring a flaky pie crust filled with a rich mixture of eggs, cheese, broccoli or spinach, and ham. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner, it offers a comforting blend of flavors and textures that appeal to all ages and can be easily customized with your favorite fillings.
Ingredients
Instructions

- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40 to 45 minutes until set and golden.
- Let the quiche set for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half and half instead of milk. If you want a lighter quiche, swap the cheese for a lower-fat option or omit it altogether. You can also customize the filling by adding sautéed onions or bell peppers. To enhance the flavor, season with nutmeg or fresh herbs like thyme or chives.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your quiche warm or at room temperature for brunch or a light dinner. It pairs beautifully with an Overnight Tossed Salad for a refreshing contrast. Consider adding a side of fruit or a simple green salad to balance the richness. For a heartier meal, serve with Libby'S Green Bean Casserole.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for about 1-2 minutes, but the oven method maintains the quiche's texture better.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the quiche is done baking?
The quiche is done when the center is set and the top is lightly golden. You can gently shake the pie dish; if the center jiggles slightly but is not liquid, it’s ready. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
