Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread grated cheese evenly over the bottom of the baked pie shell.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, evaporated milk or heavy cream, cayenne pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cheese in the pie shell.
- Sprinkle French fried onion rings over the top of the mixture.
- Microwave on 50% power for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the center is firm.
- Let the quiche rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor, consider adding sautéed vegetables like spinach or mushrooms before pouring in the egg mixture. You can substitute the evaporated milk with almond milk for a lighter option, or use half-and-half if you prefer a richer quiche. If you want a crispy topping, try using crushed potato chips instead of French fried onion rings.
Serving Suggestions
This quiche pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or a side of fruit for a complete meal. For a hearty breakfast, serve it alongside some crispy bacon or sausage. Consider topping the quiche with a dollop of sour cream or fresh herbs for extra flavor. It's perfect for brunch or a light dinner.
