Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare a baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté chopped scallions or onion with a pinch of salt until tender.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
- Add grated cheese, biscuit mix, cooked vegetables, and diced leftover meat to the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake until the quiche is set and golden on top, about 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of milk. You can substitute the cheese with any kind you have on hand, like feta or goat cheese. If you don't have biscuit mix, a homemade version can be made using flour, baking powder, and salt. Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers based on your preference or what’s in your fridge.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a light salad, like a Black And Blue Salad, for a refreshing contrast. This quiche is great for brunch or a light dinner, and pairs beautifully with Herbed Biscuits On The Grill. For added flavor, consider topping with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes for a crispier texture.
