Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of cream to the egg mixture. You can substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar for a sharper flavor, or use a mix of cheeses for complexity. If you want to add some heat, diced jalapeños or crushed red pepper can be great additions. This quiche pairs well with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
