Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter quiche, consider using half-and-half instead of Pet milk. You can also replace Swiss cheese with Gruyère for a more robust flavor. If you're short on time, pre-cooked ham can be used instead of chunk ham. Additionally, you can sauté fresh mushrooms in olive oil for added depth before layering them in the quiche.
Serving Suggestions
This quiche is perfect for brunch or a light dinner and pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or a side of Country Style Corn. For added flavor, serve with a dollop of sour cream or a light vinaigrette. It also makes an excellent meal prep option, allowing you to enjoy it throughout the week.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. For a quicker option, microwave individual slices for 1-2 minutes, but be cautious not to overheat, as it can make the crust chewy.
