Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or basil to the egg mixture. If you don't have mozzarella, cheddar or Swiss cheese are great substitutes. You can customize the filling with other vegetables like spinach or zucchini. This dish is versatile, so feel free to mix in your favorite meats. For an extra crunch, top with breadcrumbs before baking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Assemble it up to the baking step, cover it, and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake it directly from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time to ensure it's heated through.
What can I use instead of crescent rolls for the crust?
If you prefer a different crust, you can use a pre-made pie crust or a hash brown crust. For a gluten-free option, try a cauliflower crust or simply bake the filling in a greased pan without a crust for a low-carb version.
How do I know when the quiche is done baking?
The quiche is done when the egg mixture is set and the top is golden brown. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean. If it wobbles too much, give it a few more minutes in the oven.
