A quick, cheesy quiche made with a blender, perfect for a savory breakfast or brunch. Light, fluffy, and customizable with your favorite cheese flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place eggs, all-purpose flour, and milk in blender and blend for 30 seconds.
- Grease a 10-inch pie or quiche pan and spread shredded cheese over the bottom.
- Pour the blended mixture over the cheese.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes until filling is puffed and golden brown on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the blender mixture. If you're out of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour can be a healthier substitute. Experiment with different cheeses like feta or goat cheese for a unique flavor. You can add vegetables such as spinach or bell peppers to enhance nutrition and taste, similar to the options in vegetarian recipes.
Serving Suggestions
This quiche is delicious on its own but pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For an extra touch, serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. It also makes a great brunch dish alongside Mama Hara's Working Girl Batter Rolls for a delightful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes to maintain the quiche's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this quiche ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance. Simply blend the ingredients and pour them into the pan, then cover and refrigerate. Bake it fresh the next day for a delicious and easy meal that saves time.
Is it possible to freeze quiche?
Absolutely! You can freeze the quiche before or after baking. If freezing before baking, wrap it tightly and store for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, bake from frozen, adding extra time as needed, or thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
What can I substitute for cheese in this recipe?
If you're looking for a cheese substitute, nutritional yeast can provide a cheesy flavor without dairy. Alternatively, you can use silken tofu blended with spices for a creamy texture or omit the cheese entirely for a lighter dish.
