Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier quiche, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the milk. If you want to reduce fat, substitute turkey sausage or omit the sausage entirely for a vegetarian version. You can also mix in sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for added flavor. For a twist, try using Gruyère cheese instead of Cheddar. This recipe is flexible with ingredients, so feel free to experiment!
Serving Suggestions
This quiche is perfect for brunch and pairs beautifully with a fresh green salad or some roasted vegetables. Consider serving it alongside a fruit salad for a refreshing contrast. For a delightful dessert, follow with a slice of Strawberry Glazed Cheese Cake to round out the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual slices for 1-2 minutes, but the oven method keeps the crust crispier.
