Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a pan; set aside.
- Mix together eggs, milk, and Bisquick.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Add shredded cheese, then the sautéed onion, and melted butter to the mixture.
- Pour the mixture into an ungreased glass pie plate.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating cooked vegetables like spinach or bell peppers into the quiche mixture. You can also substitute the butter with olive oil for a healthier option. If you don’t have Bisquick, a homemade mix of flour, baking powder, and salt can work well. This quiche recipe is versatile, so feel free to experiment with different cheeses or proteins, such as ham or cooked bacon.
Serving Suggestions
This Quick-N-Easy Quiche pairs beautifully with a fresh garden salad or fruit for a balanced meal. Serve it warm or at room temperature for brunch or a light dinner. Consider offering a side of Herbed Cheese Biscuits for a delightful complement. It also makes a great dish for potlucks, easily appealing to both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the quiche tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave individual slices for about 1-2 minutes, but the oven method will keep the crust crispier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Simply mix the ingredients and pour them into the pie plate, then cover and refrigerate. Bake it the next day when you're ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld, making it even tastier!
What can I use instead of milk?
If you need a dairy-free option, almond milk or soy milk can be excellent substitutes. For a richer flavor, consider using coconut milk. Just ensure that the alternative is unsweetened to avoid altering the taste of the quiche.
How do I know when the quiche is done?
The quiche is done when it is puffed up and lightly golden on top. You can also insert a knife in the center; if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready. It may continue to firm up as it cools, so avoid overbaking.
